Abstract
We explore the possibility to form a physical theory in C4. We argue that the expansion of our usual 4-d real space-time to a 4-d complex space-time, can serve us to describe geometrically electromagnetism and unify it with gravity, in a different way that Kaluza-Klein theories do. Specically, the electromagnetic eld Aμ, is included in the free geodesic equation of C4. By embedding our usual 4-d real space-time in the symplectic 8-d real space-time (symplectic R8 is algebraically isomorphic to C4), we derive the usual geodesic equation of a charged particle in gravitational eld, plus new information which is interpreted. Afterwards, we explore the consequences of the formulation of a "special relativity" in the at R8.
