Popis: A geometrical interpretation for Stephenson-Kilmister’s unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism is given on the base of Finslerian geometry. It is known that the correct equations of motion for a charged test body moving in the Eiemannian space under the pon-deromotorical influence of the electromagnetic field can be deduced from a variationsl principle with the Lagrangian: ℱ(x, dx) = Aµ(x)dxµ + +gµv(x) dxµ dxv1/2, whereAµ(x) andgµv(x) are the components of the potential of the electromagnetic field and the components of the metrical ground tensor of the original Riemannian space, respectively. Considering ℱ(x, dx ) as the ground function of a Pinsler’s space a reformulation of Stephenson-Kilmister’s idea is suggested.
