Ehlers-Harrison-type transformations for Jordan's extended theory of gravitation
Description
It is shown that the 'hidden' symmetry of the stationary Einstein equations under the group SL(2,R) can be extended to a symmetry under the group SL(3,R) in the case of Jordan's five-dimensional, unified theory. More generally one obtains an action of the group SL(n + 2,R) on the set of (n + 4)-dimensional Einstein spaces admitting a (n + 1)-parameter Abelian group of isometries. (author)
