Abstract

We consider a condition for charge confinement and gravito-electromagnetic wave solutions in nonsymmetric Kaluza–Klein theory. We consider also the influence of the cosmological constant on a static, spherically symmetric solution. We remind the reader of some fundamentals of nonsymmetric Kaluza–Klein theory and the geometrical background behind the theory. Simultaneously we make some remarks concerning a misunderstanding connected to several notions of Kaluza–Klein Theory, Einstein Unified Field Theory, geometrization and unification of physical interactions. We reconsider the Dirac field in nonsymmetric Kaluza–Klein theory.
