Abstract

Higher-dimensional gravity in the presence of isometries includes classical Yang-Mills theories. In the case of five dimensions it contains the usual gravity, electromagnetism and the Brans-Dicke scalar field phi . It is shown that phi depends on the square of electric charge. Mass depends on the fifth component of momentum (identical to electric charge) and on the field phi . The contribution of all charged particles in the Universe to the field phi gives the mass value 10-28 kg for an elementary particle.
