A geometric unification of the electromagnetic and gravitational fields is presented. The unified field is described by a linear connection on the space-time. Field equations for the unified field are equivalent to Einstein-Maxwell equations. Field equations for matter interacting with the unified field are the usual ones. The interaction of the unified field with a charged scalar field is studied in detail.

Abstract

A geometric unification of the electromagnetic and gravitational fields is presented. The unified field is described by a linear connection on the space-time. Field equations for the unified field are equivalent to Einstein-Maxwell equations. Field equations for matter interacting with the unified field are the usual ones. The interaction of the unified field with a charged scalar field is studied in detail.
