An extension of the nonsymmetric unified field theory

The field equations, in the new formulation of Einstein's unified field theory, are extended from the present vacuum form to the general case in which sources are present. In this generalization the contracted torsion tensor corresponds to the electromagnetic four-potential. By this correspondence, Einsteins-gauge transformation becomes identical to the ordinary electromagnetic gauge symmetry. The generalized Bianchi identities are found and used to discuss deviations from the Einstein-Lorentz equations of motion.
