In a recent series of papers, Straneo has introduced into Riemannian space-time a teleparallelism defined by an asymmetric connection, and in this manner attempted to develop a unified theory of gravitation and electricity. The essential idea underlying his work is, therefore, similar to that of the Einstein-Mayer theory of 1929–31.
