Inflation as a White Hole explosion from a 5D vacuum

Using a new kind of 5D Ricci-flat canonical metric, we obtain by a static foliation an effective 4D Schwarzschild-de Sitter hypersurface. We examine some particular initial conditions which could be responsible for the inflationary expansion of the early universe, which could be driven by the explosion of a White Hole (WH). The zeroth order spectrum outside the WH describes quantum fluctuations, which for a scale invariant power spectrum, can be expressed in terms of the cosmological constant, or the square mass of the WH.Comment: improved versio

Mass density of the Earth from a Gravito-Electro-Magnetic 5D vacuum

We calculate the mass density of the Earth using a Gravito-Electro-Magnetic theory on an extended 5D Schwarzschild-de Sitter metric, in which we define the vacuum. Our results are in very good agreement with that of the Dziewonski-Anderson model.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure

Scalar Metric fluctuations in space time matter inflation

Using the Ponce de Leon background metric, which describes a 5D universe in an apparent vacuum: $\bar{G}_{AB}=0$, we study the effective 4D evolution of both, the inflaton and gauge-invariant scalar metric fluctuations, in the recently introduced model of space time matter inflation.Comment: (improved version) Accepted in Physics Letters

Dirac equation in a de Sitter expansion for massive neutrinos from modern Kaluza-Klein theory

Using the modern Kaluza-Klein theory of gravity (or the Induced Matter theory), we study the Dirac equation for massive neutrinos on a de Sitter background metric from a 5D Riemann-flat (and hence Ricci-flat) extended de Sitter metric, on which is defined the vacuum for test massless 1/2-neutral fields minimally coupled to gravity and free of any other interactions. We obtain that the effective 4D masses of the neutrinos can only take three possible values, which are related to the (static) foliation of the fifth and noncompact extra dimension.Comment: Version with some corrections included in the erratu
