1209.5703 (Paul S. Wesson et al.)

A Scalar Field and the Einstein Vacuum in Modern Kaluza-Klein Theory    [PDF]

Paul S. Wesson, James M. Overduin
Five-dimensional relativity as an extension of general relativity has field equations that simplify considerably given the adoption of a new gauge. The result is a scalar field governed by the Klein-Gordon equation, in an empty spacetime with a cosmological constant governed by Einstein's equations. There are implications of this for particles in vacuum.
