Contribution

It introduces a novel five-dimensional framework that links scalar curvature to magnetic field amplification, providing a fresh perspective on galactic magnetism.

Findings

Modified Maxwell equations derived from the theory.

Scalar curvature regions can amplify magnetic fields.

Suggests a new origin for galactic magnetic fields.

Abstract

We present a five dimensional unified theory of gravity and electromagnetism which leads to modified Maxwell equations, suggesting a new origin for galactic magnetic fields. It is shown that a region with nonzero scalar curvature would amplify the magnetic fields under certain conditions.
