This is the first paper by Gunnar Nordstr{\"o}m (1881--1923) on his five dimensional theory. In his summary he states: ''It is shown, that a unifying treatment of the electromagnetic and gravitational fields is possible, if one considers the four dimensional spacetime world to be a surface in a five dimensional world.'' This paper was followed by two other papers written by the Gunnar Nordstr{\"o}m during the one year period 1914--1915, on the same subject, which are also made available here.

  1. Quark-Lepton Color-Flavor Unification

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    An SU(12)-based model unifies quark color-flavor and lepton flavor, generates Yukawas via instantons, solves strong CP with massless quarks, implements a flavored seesaw, and stabilizes the proton via a discrete gauge...

    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.
