The General Static Spherically Symmetric Solution of the "Weak" Unified Field Equations

In 1947 Einstein and Strauss (2) proposed a unified field theory based on a four-dimensional manifold characterized by a nonsymmetric tensor gij and a non-symmetric connection , where (1) Using a variational principle in which gij and are independently varied, the above authors obtain the equivalent of the following field equations: (2a) (2b) In these equations a comma denotes partial differentiation with respect to the co-ordinates of the manifold, Wij is the Ricci tensor formed from and the notation for the symmetric and skew-symmetric parts of geometric objects Q is employed.
