On the origins of galactic magnetic fields

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-19 v1

Abstract

We present a five dimensional unified theory of gravity and electromagnetism which leads to modified Maxwell equations, suggesting a new origin for galactic magnetic fields. It is shown that a region with nonzero scalar curvature would amplify the magnetic fields under certain conditions.
