Unified Field Theory

Abstract

Introduction. In a recent unified theory originated by Einstein and Straus [l], the gravitational and electromagnetic fields are represented by a single nonsymmetric tensor gy which is a function of four coordinates x^r(r = 1, 2, 3, 4). In addition a non-symmetric linear connection Γ_jkⁱ is assumed for the space and a Hamiltonian function is defined in terms of g_ij and Γ_jkⁱ. By means of a variational principle in which the g_ij and Γ_jkⁱ are allowed to vary independently the field equations are obtained and can be written(0.1)(0.2)(0.3)(0.4)
