On the Meaning of the Metric Hypothesis in the Nonsymmetric Unified Field Theory

摘要

The meaning and geometrical significance of the method whereby a metric can be identified in the nonsymmetric unified field theory is investigated especially in relation to the setting up of a spinor analysis. It is shown that there is a close relation between the latter and the metric hypothesis adopted. A possible connection between the nonsymmetric theory and quantum electrodynamics is then obtained.
