A Five Dimensional Space Without Local Lorentz Invariance

Abstract

A five dimensional space without invariance under local Lorentz transformations is studied, and the transformations under which the theory is invariant are introduced. We show that the Lorentz force is included in the ensuing equations of motion. The four dimensional Einstein and Maxwell equations emerge from the field equations while the homogeneous Maxwell equations naturally appear in the work. A corresponding quantum theory is introduced. The spectrum of a free particle and the hydrogen atom are recovered. Quantum structure of Schwarzschild spaces are also studied.
