electromagnetism

Ilija Barukčić

Received: July 2, 2020 / Accepted: July 2, 2020 / Published: July 2, 2020

Abstract Aim: The development of a unified field theory for electromag-
netism and gravitation while no material source terms are taken into account
in the field equations of unified field theory is still an issue to be solved.
Methods: The usual tensor calculus rules were used.
Results: The gravitational and the electromagnetic field are successfully joined
into one single hyper-field whose equations are determined only by the metric
field gµν itself.
Conclusion: The theory of gravitation and electromagnetism of Einstein and
Maxwell are unified and described exclusively in terms of the metric tensor
gµν .

1 Introduction

The many short-lived attempts to unify the electromagnetic and gravitational
fields together with other fundamental interactions within one conceptual and
formal framework has been the focus of much present research but has not yet
met with ultimate success. In point of fact, the unity of nature as the foun-
dation for the unity of science allow us to hope to find the trail of the hidden
in order to unify all the fundamental interactions, including gravitation1 and
electromagnetism, in a single theoretical framework – a unified field theory.
However, so far all attempts to tie the known fundamental forces of nature
and to unify2 the general3 theory of relativity4 , which describes the gravita-
tional5 field, with quantum mechanics made their incompatibility more or less
more apparent. Even Einstein’s efforts devoted to the search for a ‘unified
field theory’6 , “a generalization of the theory of the gravitational
field” 7 , were in vain8 . In order to reach new horizons on this issue in ques-
tion, a lot can been learned even from failed attempts at unification and much
more might be learned in the future. In brief, past experience has shown that
due to the weakness of the gravitational interaction to encounter primarily
an empirical-inductive method at unification with the goal to join the grav-
itational and electromagnetic field into a new field appears not impossible
but hardly implausible. Therefore, in this attempt at unification prefers the
deductive-hypothetical method. And it’s with this goal in mind that greater
attention will be directed in particular to the development of a new and sys-
tematic approach to the problem of unification. Fully in line with this is the
fact that all tensors of the general theory of relativity, including the Ricci

2 Material and methods

2.1 Definitions

Evidently there several features of general relativity (particles as singularities
of a field) including experimental12 confirmation which have made the major-
ity of physicists to believe that general relativity theory is correct. However,
physicists have not yet figured out how to unify general relativity with all other
interactions and the search for a quantum theory of gravity is still without a
breakthrough in this field.
Definition 1 (Anti tensor) Let aµν denote a certain tensor. Let bµν denote
another tensor. Let Eµν denote a thrid tensor. Let the relationship aµν + bµν
+ ... ≡ Eµν be given. The anti tensor of a tensor, i. e. aµν is denoted in general
as aµν and defined as
                                  aµν ≡ E µν − aµν
                                                                                     (1)
                                       ≡ bµν + ...

There are circumstances were an anti-tensor is identical with an anti-symmetrical
tensor, but both are not identical as such.
Definition 2 (The Ricci tensor Rµν ) Let Rµν denote the Ricci tensor13
of ‘Einstein’s general theory of relativity’14 , a geometric object developed by
Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro (1853 – 1925) able to measure of the degree to which
a certain geometry of a given metric differs from that of ordinary Euclidean
space. Let aµν , bµν , cµν and dµν denote the four basic fields of nature were aµν
is the stress-energy tensor of ordinary matter, bµν is the stress-energy tensor
of the electromagnetic field.

        ≡ (aµν ) + (+bµν + cµν + dµν )
        ≡ (bµν ) + (+aµν + cµν + dµν )

        ≡ (dµν ) + (+aµν + bµν + cµν )

Definition 3 (The Ricci scalar R) Under conditions of Einstein’s general15
theory of relativity, the Ricci scalar curvature R as the trace of the Ricci
curvature tensor Rµν with respect to the metric is determined at each point
in space-time by lamda Λ and anti-lamda16 Λ as

                             R ≡ g µν × Rµν ≡ (Λ) + (Λ)                                (3)

    A Ricci scalar curvature R which is positive at a certain point indicates
that the volume of a small ball about the point has smaller volume than a
ball of the same radius in Euclidean space. In contrast to this, a Ricci scalar
curvature R which is negative at a certain point indicates that the volume of
a small ball is larger than it would be in Euclidean space. In general it is

                          R × g µν ≡ (Λ × g µν ) + (Λ × g µν )                         (4)

    The cosmological constant can also be written algebraically as part of the
stress–energy tensor, a second order tensor as the source of gravity (energy
density).

Definition 4 (The stress-energy tensor of matter / energy Eµν ) The
stress-energy tensor of matter / energy Eµν is determined in detail as follows.

                            2×π×γ×T
                        ≡                   × g µν
                                   c4
                                        
                            2×π×γ×T
                        ≡                   ×g µν
                                   c4
                          |        {z     }
                                   E                                        (5)
                        ≡ E × g µν
                          ≡ Gµν + (Λ × g µν )
                                             
                                      R
                          ≡ Rµν −         × g µν + (Λ × g µν )
                                       2
                          ≡ Rµν − E µν
                          ≡ aµν + bµν
   In our understanding, the stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field
(bµν ) is equivalent to the portion of the stress-energy tensor of matter / energy
(Eµν )due to the electromagnetic field where where Tµν “denotes the co-variant

energy tensor of matter” 17 . In other words, there is no third tensor between
the stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field (bµν ) and the tensor of
ordinary matter or matter in the narrower sense (aµν ), a third tensor is
not given, tertium non datur! “Considered phenomenologically, this energy
tensor is composed of that of the electromagnetic field and of matter in the
narrower sense. ” 18

   Vranceanu19 is elaborating on this issue too. In other words, the energy
tensor Tkl is treated by Vranceanu as the sum of two tensors one of which is
due to the electromagnetic field (bµν ).

     “On peut aussi supposer que le tenseur d’énergie Tkl soit la somme de
         deux tenseurs dont un dû au champ électromagnétique . . . ” 20

    Translated into English: ‘One can also assume that the energy tensor Tkl be
the sum of two tensors one of which is due to the electromagnetic field.’In this
context, it is necessary to make a distinction between the relationship between
ordinary matter and electromagnetic field and matter and gravitational field.
Our understanding of the relationship between matter and gravitational field
is impacted by Einstein’s train of thoughts on this relationship. Einstein wrote:

        “Wir unterscheiden im folgenden zwischen ‘Gravitationsfeld ’und
    ‘Materie ’in dem Sinne, daß alles außer dem Gravitationsfeld als ‘Materie
    ’bezeichnet wird, also nicht nur die ‘Materie ’im üblichen Sinne, sondern
                      auch das elektromagnetische Feld.” 21

    Einstein’s position translated into English:
    We make a distinction hereafter between ‘gravitational field ’and ‘matter’in
this way that everything but the gravitational field is termed as ‘matter’that is

to say not only ‘matter’in the ordinary sense, but the electromagnetic field as
well.
    Following Einstein, matter and gravitational field are complementary to
each other. In other words, all but gravitational field is matter or there is
no third between matter and gravitational field, a third is not given. Matter is
the complementary of gravitational field and vice versa. The gravitational field
is the complementary of matter. Again, each of both is equally the comple-
mentary of its own other. The following figure may illustrate this relationship
in more detail.

Definition 5 (Laue’s scalar T) Max von Laue (1879-1960) proposed the
meanwhile so called Laue scalar22 (criticised23 by Einstein) as the contraction
of the the stress–energy momentum tensor Tµν denoted as T and written with-
out subscripts or arguments. Under conditions of Einstein’s general24 theory
of relativity, it is
                               T ≡ g µν × T µν                              (6)

where Tµν “denotes the co-variant energy tensor of matter” 25 . In other words,
“Considered phenomenologically, this energy tensor is composed of that of the
electromagnetic field and of matter in the narrower sense.” 26

3.2 Axioms

3.3 Axioms in general

Axioms48 and rules which are chosen carefully can be of use to avoid logical
inconsistency and equally preventing science from supporting particular ide-
ologies. Rightly or wrongly, long lasting advances in our knowledge of nature
are enabled by suitable axioms49 too. Einstein himself brings it again to the
point.50

    “Die wahrhaft großen Fortschritte der Naturerkenntnis sind
  auf einem der Induktion fast diametral entgegengesetzten Wege
                          entstanden.” 51

    Einstein’s previous position now been translated into English: The truly
great advances in our understanding of nature originated in a manner almost
diametrically opposed to induction. It is worth mentioning in this matter, Ein-
stein himself advocated especially basic laws (axioms) and conclusions derived
from the same as a main logical foundation of any ‘theory’.

                            “Grundgesetz (Axiome)
                                      und
                                 Folgerungen
                          zusammen bilden das was man
                                eine ‘Theorie’
                                   nennt. ” 52

    Albert Einstein’s (1879-1955) message translated into English as: Basic
law (axioms) and conclusions together form what is called a ‘theory’ has still
to get round. However, it is currently difficult to ignore completely these his-
torical and far reaching words of wisdom. The same taken more seriously and
put into practice, will yield an approach to fundamental scientific problems
which is more creative and sustainably logically consistent. Historically, Aris-
totle himself already cited the law of excluded middle and the law of
contradiction as examples of axioms. However, lex identitatis is an axiom
too, which possess the potential to serve as the most basic and equally as the

most simple axiom of science. Something which is really just itself is equally
different from everything else. In point of fact, is such an equivalence which
everything has to itself inherent or must the same be constructed by human
mind and consciousness. Following Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716):

                   “Chaque chose est ce qu’elle est.
               Et dans autant d’exemples qu’on voudra
                        A est A, B est B. ” 53

   or A = A, B = B or +1 = +1. In this context, lex contradictionis,
the negative of lex identitatis, or +0 = +1 is of no minor importance too.

3.3.1 Axiom I. Lex identitatis

To say that +1 is identical to +1 is to say that both are the same.
Axiom 1. Lex identitatis.

                            (g µν × g µν ) − 3 ≡ +1                          (21)

or
                                   +1 ≡ +1                                   (22)
However, even such a numerical identity which seems in itself wholly unprob-
lematic, for it indicates just to a relation which something has to itself and
nothing else, is still subject to controversy. Another increasingly popular view
is that the same numerical identity implies the controversial view that we are
talking about two different numbers +1. The one +1 is on the left side on
the equation, the other +1 is on the right side of an equation. The basicness
of the relation of identity implies the contradiction too while circularity is
avoided. In other words, how can the same +1 be identical with itself and be
equally different from itself? We may usefully state that identity is an utterly
problematic notion and might be the most troublesome of all.

3.3.2 Axiom II. Lex contradictionis

Axiom 2. Lex contradictionis.

                   (g µν × g µν − 3) − (g µν × g µν − 3) ≡ +1                (23)
or
                                   +0 ≡ +1                                   (24)
A considerable obstacle to understanding contemporary usage of the term
contradiction, however, is that contradiction does not seem to be a unitary
one. How can something be both, itself (a path is a straight line from the
standpoint of a co-moving observer at a certain point in space-time) and the
The field equations for gravitation and electromagnetism                                    15

other of itself, its own opposition (the same path is not a straight line, the
same path is curved, from the standpoint of a stationary observer at a certain
point in space-time)54 . We may simply deny the existence of objective or of
any other contradictions. Furthermore, even if it remains especially according
to Einstein’s special theory of relativity that it is not guaranteed that the
notion of an absolute contradiction is justified, Einstein’s special theory of
relativity insist that contradictions are objective and real. That this is so
highlights the fact that from the standpoint of a co-moving observer, under
certain circumstances, a path is a straight line and nothing else. However,
under the same circumstances of special theory of relativity where the relative
velocity v > 0, from the standpoint of a stationary observer the same path

Remark 1 At least since gravitational waves were finally captured57 , it appears
to be that general relativity theory is more and more on the way to become one
of the icons of modern science. Therefore and in connection with other aspects,
we might infer from this theorem thatEinstein’s
                                                 tensor  can be decomposed
                                                                            un-

der some well defined circumstances               × g µν − bµν − dµν ≡ 0 very
                                             2
precisely. Under theses conditions, it is (Gµν ≡ +aµν + cµν ). However, even
if no sweeping generalisation can be made that this theorem (theorem 2) is
generally valid, this theorem would be  of little
                                                   or none worth if there
                                                                         were
                                                R
no circumstances where the condition                 × g µν − bµν − dµν ≡ 0 is
                                                2
valid. Because of these objections, the phrase is always right that such a re-
grettable generalisation is wrong as long as it is not possible to verify the
result of this theorem (equation 47) through other theoretical or experimen-
tal
 investigations.
                 However and   in deductivist style, under conditions where
      R
           × g µν − bµν − dµν ≡ 0 the propositions are true and the infer-
      2                                            
                              R
ences are valid. It is            × g µν − bµν − dµν ≡ 0. Further research
                               2
may provide evidence, whether this requirement is generally valid.

The field equations for gravitation and electromagnetism                                19

Theorem 3 (The unity of gravitation and electromagnetism bµν +
cµν ) What is gravitation? What is electromagnetism? Do they exist indepen-
dently of each other and the geometry of space-time? Historically, the trial to
describe all fundamental interactions in the sense of a unified field theory by
objects of space-time geometry is ascribed especially to Hermann Klaus Hugo
Weyl (1885-1955)58 and Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882-1944)59 . Weyl’s
generalisation of Riemannian geometry and his classical geometrical approach
connected the gravitational and the electromagnetic fields as represented by the
metrical field and a vector field. Eddington tried to provide physics with new
foundations that covered everything in the physical world, from the universe
at large to the tiny particle. However, one of the grand failures of Eddington’s
philosophy of physics was that the laws of physics were treated as construc-
tions60 of the physicists and were not expressions of processes or regularities
in an external, objective and real world. Kaluza’s61 introduced a five dimension
in order to approach to the unification of gravitation and electromagnetism. In
point of fact and from an epistemological standpoint, neither Einstein nor the
majority of other physicist were impressed by these and similar contributions.

5 Discussion

Historically, there have been many different attempts63 to unify Maxwell’s
theory of the electromagnetic64 field with Einstein’s general theory of grav-
itation65 into a unified field theory66 . A geometrization of the stress-energy
tensor of the electromagnetic field and the stress-energy tensor of matter of
Einstein’s field equations in particular has been an indispensable foundation
for the development of a completely geometrized67 theory of relativ-
ity in order to overcome the difficulties inherent in this matter. Advantage
is taken of a previous gemetriziation68 of Einstein’s field equation. A gener-
ally covariant field equation
                               for gravitation and electromagnetism    is devel-
                             1                 µc              de
                                                                  
oped as bµν + cµν ≡               × (F µ c × F ) − F de × F            − Λ × g µν
                           8×π
by considering especially the relationship to the metric tensor gµν . In order
to formulate a logically consistent theory of quantum gravity or an unified
field theory, it is necessary to change drastically several points of view. In this
context, equation 65 justifies the question, does the gravitational field itself
possess any kind of an energy density, stress et cetera or not? Einstein himself
introduced a mathematical object in his final general theory of relativity for
describing the energy components of the gravitational field by tσ α . “Es ist

zu beachten dass tσ α kein Tensor ist; . . . Die Größen tσ α bezeichnen
wir als die ‘Energiekomponenten’des Gravitationsfelds. ” 69 However,
soon Schrödinger70 and Bauer71 showed that the energy components of the
gravitational field are equal to zero when the same should not be, and are
not equal to zero when the same should be. The problem of the energy of
the gravity field in general relativity appears to be solved or is at least solvable
by equation 65. It is to be noted, that per definitionem all energy, radiation,
stress et cetera is included exclusively within the stress-energy tensor of mat-
ter, denoted by Eµν = aµν + bµν . Thus far, there is and cannot be any further
energy left, which can be treated as being part of the gravitational field cµν
itself. Therefore, the energy components of the gravitational field72
of Einstein’s general theory of relativity and require a further and definite
clarification.

6 Conclusion

If was possible to couple the stress-energy tensor of electromagnetic field (bµν )
and the tensor of the gravitational field (cµν ) to the metric tensor (gµν )itself
and to unify both fields into a hyper-field of gravitation and electromagnetism.
