PALATINI FORMALISM OF FIVE-DIMENSIONAL KALUZA–KLEIN THEORY

Abstract: The Einstein field equations can be derived in n dimensions (n>2) by the variations of the Palatini action. The Killing reduction of 5-dimensional Palatini action is studied on the assumption that pentads and Lorentz connections are preserved by the Killing vector field. A Palatini formalism of 4-dimensional action for gravity coupled to a vector field and a scalar field is obtained, which gives exactly the same fields equations in Kaluza-Klein theory.
