Haunted Kaluza universe with four-dimensional Lorentzian flat, Kerr, and Taub-NUT slices

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The duality between the original Kaluza's theory and Klein's subsequent modification is duality between slicing and threading decomposition of the five-dimensional spacetime. The field equations of the original Kaluza's theory lead to the interpretation of the four-dimensional Lorentzian Kerr and Taub-NUT solutions as resulting from static electric and magnetic charges and dipoles in the presence of ghost matter and constant dilaton, which models Newton's constant.
