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 of 10

    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...

  2. Conformal and pure scale-invariant gravities in d dimensions

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For d>4, pure R^{d/2} gravity has no modes on flat space, and five-dimensional conformal gravity propagates three scalar, three vector, and two tensor modes, one of which is a ghost.

  3. Black holes in f(R) theory of gravity with compact extra dimensions

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In D=4+n f(R) gravity with a constant-radius extra n-sphere, vacuum polarization of nonminimally coupled fields yields an asymptotically flat 4D Schwarzschild solution whose extra-radius is set by the quantum stress-t...

  4. Interactions between different Kaluza-Klein modes in brane world

    hep-th 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The Orthonormal Completeness Hypothesis implies universal interactions between KK modes in brane-world effective actions for U(1) gauge and fermion fields.

  5. Two-scalar-field $f(R)$ Thick Branes, Gravitational Resonances and Quasinormal Modes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    In ghost-free two-scalar f(R) thick branes, internal structure produces no narrow real-axis tensor resonances; quasinormal modes are broad with quality factors 0.9-1.9.
