“…There have been several proposals along those lines with various different motivations. Some of them arise from proposals for basic theories that arise in the search for unification of the four fundamental laws of physics such as string-derived field theories [58,33,3,19,20,21], related brane-world theories [59,60,43,12] and Kaluza-Klein theories [27,30,56,25,42]. There are also phenomenological models where a scalar field φ couples to the Maxwell tensor F µν and are characterized by Lagrangian density terms such as −B F (φ)F µν F µν /4 [7,6,39,57,22] and/or to the matter fields Ψ i (i labeling the field flavor) as [39,28,13,5,40,57,22].…”
