Preferred Abstract (Original): 

We consider the effect of space dimension N, on the results predicted by two approximation techniques applied on physical quantum systems. In the first, we apply degenerate perturbation theory to perturbed N-dimensional infinite cubical well. It is found that the energy difference for splitting decreases as N increases and it vanishes in the infinite dimensional space. In the second, we apply the sudden approximation to the electronic structure change implied by beta-decay of the tritium nucleus. It is found that as N increases the ionization probability increases.
