The review presents the history of models of interactions of elementary particles
in spacetime with large extra dimensions, discusses the current state of this approach
and its phenomenological consequences. The main attention is paid to the stabilized
Randall—Sundrum model with two branes, which is the most interesting from this
point of view, and the most important results obtained within it. For this model,
the connection of the fundamental five-dimensional energy scale with the Planck
mass and the identification of physical degrees of freedom are discussed in detail.
The interaction of the lowest scalar mode, the radion, and the lowest tensor modes
with the fields of the Standard Model is considered. The stability of the model with
respect to quantum corrections is discussed.
