This paper deals with Einstein's unified field theory with respect to an \(n\)-dimensional spacetime manifold \(X_n\). Einstein postulated that \(X_n\) has a real non-symmetric metric tensor \(g\) and a real non-symmetric connection \(D\) with components \(i^e_{ab}\) whose skew-symmetric part is its torsion tensor \(S^c_{ab}\). It is known that \(D\) is Einstein if \(g\) is covariant constant with respect to \(D\). Also, recently the present author [\textit{J. W. Lee}, Tensor, New Ser. 51, 78-82 (1992; Zbl 0782.53080)] defined that \(D\) is an \(E(k)\)-connection if it is Einstein and its torsion tensor is of the form \[ S^c_{ab} =2 \delta^c_{[a} X_{b]} +k_{ab}Y^c \] for some vectors \(X\) and \(Y\), not both zero. Using the above definition, the author derives Einstein's field equations subject to an \(E(k)\)-connection on \(X_n\). Based on this, he obtains a solution of the field equations.
