The motion of charged particles in spacetimes containing a submanifold of constant positive or negative curvature is considered, with the electromagnetic tensor proportional to the volume two-form form of the submanifold. In the positive…
This paper considers metrics whose curvature tensor makes sense as a distribution. A class of such metrics, the regular metrics, was defined and studied by Geroch and Traschen. Here, we generalize their definition to form a wider class:…

While general relativity provides a complete geometric theory of gravity, it fails to explain the other three forces of nature, i.e., electromagnetism and weak and strong interactions. We require the quantum field theory (QFT) to explain…
