The Dispersion Relation for Matter Waves in a Two-Phase Vacuum

The cosmological constant (lambda) of general relativity is a natural consequence of embedding Einstein's theory in a five-dimensional theory of the type needed for unification. The exact 5D solution for lambda less than 0 shows waves in ordinary 3D space with properties similar to those of de Broglie or matter waves. Here the dispersion relation is derived for matter waves in a toy two-phase model, where regions with lambda less than 0 and lambda greater than 0 average on the large scale to lambda = 0, thus providing in principle a resolution of the cosmological-constant problem. A striking result of the analysis is that the dispersion relation is bimodal, with a well-defined window of high-frequency transmission which effectively defines the speed of light.
