Abstract

In a geometric unified theory there is an energy momentum equation, apart from the field equations and equations of motion. The general relativity Einstein equation with cosmological constant follows from this energy momentum equation for empty space. For non empty space we obtain a generalized Einstein equation, relating the Einstein tensor to a geometric stress energy tensor. The matching exterior solution is in agreement with the standard relativity tests. Furthermore, there is a Newtonian limit where we obtain Poisson's equation.
