TLDR
In this article, a unification scheme for the Einstein and Maxwell theories is developed within a Riemann-Cartan geometry, where the electromagnetic field is introduced at the level of the connection and it is, in fact, coded in the torsion.About:

A scalar-tensor theory of gravity incorporating Mach's principle
TL;DR: In this article, a solution to the long-standing problem involving the incorporation of Mach's principle into general relativity is proposed in terms of a new scalar-tensor theory of gravity, which seems to introduce no change in the predictions of any of its existing tests.

The gravitoweak connection
TL;DR: In this article, a construction involving the gravitational and electroweak fields, unifying the two within a Riemann-Cartan spacetime as parts of one single connection, suggestively termed "gravitoweak", was proposed.

On a unified theory for interaction and matter fields
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified theory for the gravitational and electromagnetic fields, as well as matter fields with spin and electric charge, all accommodated into the connection of a Riemann-Cartan space-time.

Positivity of energy for a class of scalar—tensor theories of gravity
TL;DR: For a class of scalar-tensor theories of gravity, positivity of the total energy follows from the reasonable requirement that the gravitational coupling which they define is finite, positive and asymptotically constant as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classical unified fields: physical space
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified theory of classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism in a gravitational field on Friedman-Schouten space-time (FSS) was developed, and the strong equivalence principle and nonzero torsion coexist without conflict.

Broken-symmetric theory of gravity
TL;DR: A theory of gravity incorporating the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking is proposed in this article, where it is suggested that the same symmetry-breaking mechanism is responsible for breaking a unified gauge theory into strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions.

Calculation of Newton's Gravitational Constant in Infrared-Stable Yang-Mills Theories
TL;DR: Newton's gravitational constant was calculated in a class of scale-invariant gauge theories with an infrared fixed point as mentioned in this paper, where the sign of Newton's constant depends on the coefficients in the renormalization-group $\ensuremath{\beta}$ function.
