Abstract

This paper is devoted to a five-dimensional unification of Moffat's theory of gravitation and electromagnetism. We found "interference effects" between gravitational and electromagnetic fields which appear to be due to the skew-symmetric part of the metric of Moffat's theory. Our unification, called the nonsymmetric Jordan–Thiry theory, becomes the classical Kaluza–Klein theory if the skew-symmetric part of the metric is zero. The possible generalization to an arbitrary gauge group is discussed.
