Phys. Rev. Lett. 51, 87–90 (1983)Kaluza-Klein MonopoleSee Also: Erratum Received 18 April 1983; published in the issue dated 11 July 1983 By adding the trivial term -dt2 one can convert the four-dimensional (positive-definite) Newman-Unti-Tamburino line element into a static solution of the five-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations. Interpreted a`la Kaluza and Klein, the solution describes a monopole with a charge-to-mass ratio of √2 in rationalized Planck units. Although it is a perfectly regular five-geometry it appears singular from a four-dimensional perspective. © 1983 The American Physical Society URL:
