Revised translation of Kaluza's historic 1921 paper, "Zum Unit\"atsproblem der Physik," on 5-dimensional spacetime, used to unify gravity and electromagnetism. This version is based, in part, on a 1984 translation provided by T. Muta, but revised and formatted using LaTeX to closely match the original paper in appearance and pagination. Kaluza's original notation is restored.

  1. Bouncing cosmologies from Born-Infeld-type gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A new ghost-free Born-Infeld-type f(R, G) gravity is built that admits a large family of bouncing cosmologies with varied asymptotic behaviors.

    gr-qc 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Numerical construction of asymptotically flat charged rotating black holes in EMd theory for arbitrary dilaton coupling gamma, with analysis of parameter space, zero-temperature limits, and hints of non-uniqueness.

  3. Thick branes and fermion localization in five-dimensional $f(T,T_G)$ gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In 5D f(T, T_G) gravity, thick branes develop splitting and internal structure controlled by the coupling, while supporting a normalizable chiral fermion zero mode and modified resonant Kaluza-Klein states due to the ...

  4. Quasinormal modes of the thick braneworld in $f(T)$ gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In a thick braneworld model with f(T) = T + α T², the parameter α induces brane splitting and alters the decay rates of quasinormal modes, with two numerical methods agreeing on the low-overtone spectrum.
