Have you seen the RUclips video 'Lecture 11 Kaluza Klein Theory' by Arindam Kumar Chatterjee? It seems to start out without the preliminary assumptions or perhaps it merely starts out without reference to them. It would be interesting to see the 4-dimensional equation along with the 5-dimensional equation and the 6-dimensional equation for contrast. That way, everyone would be able to see the constant factors and the variable factors of the contrasted equations.
Thank you for the comment. I have not seen the lecture video in its entirety. I did notice that the earlier lectures (from the one you’re mentioning) seem to focus on building up to the uses of higher dimensional metrics in quantum gravity (particularly black hole) problems. So perhaps she does at some point mention the assumptions outlined in the book I was referring to.
