Phys. Rev. D 12, 3789–3792 (1975)Unified geometry of internal space with space-timeReceived 23 June 1975; published in the issue dated 15 December 1975 The unified theory of gravitation with gauge fields proposed earlier is shown to be a (4+n)-dimensional Einstein theory with n linearly independent complete spacelike Killing vector fields which span an n-dimensional metric submanifold and form a closed Lie algebra. In this picture the internal space is combined with space-time and the internal symmetry becomes a symmetry of the metric of the (4+n)-dimensional combined space. The 4-dimensional space-time appears as the quotient space of the (4+n)-dimensional enlarged space by the equivalence relation of the group of motions of the n Killing vector fields. © 1975 The American Physical Society URL:
