A Natural Combination of Gravity and Electromagnetism

Abstract: Riemannian geometry has proved itself to be a useful model of the gravitational phenomena in the universe, but generalizations of it to include other forces have so far not been successful. Here we explore an extension of Riemannian geometry using a complex Hermitian metric tensor. We find that the standard electromagnetic field naturally appears along with two additional fields.
Keywords: Complex Riemannian Geometry, Unified Field Theory, Unification of Electromagnetism and Gravity
