Strings and Unified Field Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

It is argued that string theory predicts unified field theory rather than general relativity coupled to matter fields. In unified field theory all the objects are geometrical, for strings the Kalb-Ramond matter field is identical to the asymmetric part of the metric except that the fields contribute to different sides of the field equations. The dilaton is related to the object of non-metricity.
