A generalized field theory

Abstract

Three solutions with spherical symmetry are obtained for the field equations of the generalized field theory established recently by Mikhail and Wanas. The solutions found are in agreement with classical known results. The solution representing a generalized field, outside a spherical symmetric charged body, is found to have an extra term compared with the Reissner-Nordström metric. The space used for application is of type FIGI, so the solutions obtained correspond to a field in a matter-free space. A brief comparison between the solutions obtained and those given by other field theories is given. Two methods have been used to get physical results: the first is the type analysis, and the second is the comparison with classical known results by writing down the metric of the associated Riemannian space.
