On the Unification Problem in Physics
read the original abstract
Revised translation of Kaluza's historic 1921 paper, "Zum Unit\"atsproblem der Physik," on 5-dimensional spacetime, used to unify gravity and electromagnetism. This version is based, in part, on a 1984 translation provided by T. Muta, but revised and formatted using LaTeX to closely match the original paper in appearance and pagination. Kaluza's original notation is restored.

Thick branes and fermion localization in five-dimensional $f(T,T_G)$ gravity
In 5D f(T, T_G) gravity, thick branes develop splitting and internal structure controlled by the coupling, while supporting a normalizable chiral fermion zero mode and modified resonant Kaluza-Klein states due to the ...

Real Part Emergence in Purely Imaginary Quasinormal Modes in Perturbed de Sitter Braneworlds
Perturbations on a thick de Sitter brane induce a real part in previously purely imaginary quasinormal modes, creating intermediate oscillatory signatures in time-domain signals while late-time behavior stays zero-mod...

Quasinormal modes of the thick braneworld in $f(T)$ gravity
In a thick braneworld model with f(T) = T + α T², the parameter α induces brane splitting and alters the decay rates of quasinormal modes, with two numerical methods agreeing on the low-overtone spectrum.
