Abstract

We give an exact solution of the five-dimensional relativity equations, and interpret it using the induced-matter formalism wherein geometry in 5D gives rise to matter in 4D. The solution represents oscillations of ordinary 3D space where the associated medium has the equation of state of the classical de Sitter vacuum. We outline implications for the inflationary universe model.
