Spin from the Nonsymmetric Metric Tensor
Abstract
A solution to the gravitational field equations based on a nonsymmetric metric tensor is examined. Unlike Einstein's interpretation of electromagnetism, or Moffat's generalized gravity, it is shown that the nonsymmetric part of the metric tensor is the potential of the spin field, and its intimate connection to string theory is established. This formulation solves the longstanding problem of electromagnetism and torsion, naturally showing how electromagnetism, through its intrinsic spin, can create torsion.
