de Broglie-like Oscillations of Spacetime

  • Conference paper
Recent Developments in General Relativity

Abstract

We give two examples of de Broglie-like solutions of the linearized field equations of Einstein General Relativity. Hence a geometric interpretation of the wave associated with a quantum particle is possible. The limits and the advantages of this geometrical model are discussed.
