Interpreting solutions with nontrivial Killing groups in general relativity

Salvatore Antoci, Dierck Ekkehard Liebscher

General relativity is reconsidered by starting from the unquestionable interpretation of special relativity, which (Klein 1910) is the theory of the invariants of the metric under…

The group aspect in the physical interpretation of general relativity theory

Salvatore Antoci, Dierck-Ekkehard Liebscher

When, at the end of the year 1915, both Einstein and Hilbert arrived at what were named the field equations of general relativity, both of them thought that their fundamental achie…

The propagation of waves in Einstein's unified field theory as shown by two exact solutions

Salvatore Antoci

The propagation of waves in two space dimensions exhibited by two exact solutions to the field equations of Einstein's unified field theory is investigated under the assumption tha…

Einstein's unified field theory predicts the equilibrium positions of n wires run by steady electric currents

Salvatore Antoci

A particular exact solution of Einstein's Hermitian theory of relativity is examined, after recalling that there is merit in adding phenomenological sources to the theory, and in c…

Hans-Juergen Treder and the discovery of confinement in Einstein's unified field theory

S. Antoci, D. -E. Liebscher

In the year 1957, when interest in Einstein's unified field theory was fading away for lack of understanding of its physical content, Treder performed a momentous critical analysis…

The issue of photons in dielectrics: Hamiltonian viewpoint

S. Antoci, L. Mihich

The definition of the photon in the vacuum of general relativity provided by Kermack et al. and by Synge is extended to nondispersive, nonhomogeneous, isotropic dielectrics in arbi…
