Unified Field Theory
Max D. Wyman · Canadian Journal of Mathematics · 1950
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 xr(r = 1, 2, 3, 4). In addition a non-symmetric linear connection Γjki is assumed for the space and a Hamiltonian function is defined in terms of gij and Γjki. By means of a variational principle in which the gij and Γjki are allowed to vary independently the field equations are obtained and can be written (0.1) (0.2) (0.3) (0.4)
