Abstract
It is well known that the inclusion of torsion in the gravitational formalism, leads to four-fermion interactions. Although the coupling constant of this interaction is strongly suppressed in four dimensions, its value is enhanced in models with n extra dimensions. In this context, we reinterpret the recent limits established by LHC experiments to four-fermion contact interactions, to set bounds on the size of the extra dimensions. For n = 2, the limits are comparable to those in the literature, while for n ≥ 3, the volume of the extra dimensions is strongly constrained.
