Abstract

In the framework of J-bundles a vielbein formulation of unified Einstein-Maxwell theory is proposed. In the resulting scheme, field equations matching the gravitational and electromagnetic fields are derived by constraining a five-dimensional variational principle. No dynamical scalar field is involved.
