In 1953, in a private correspondence, Wolfgang Pauli formulated a six-dimensional theory of Einstein's field equations of general relativity, extending the five-dimensional theory of Theodor Kaluza, Oskar Klein, Vladimir Fock, and others to a higher-dimensional internal space.[6] However, there is no evidence that Pauli developed the Lagrangian of a gauge field or the quantization of it.
Because Pauli found that his theory "leads to some rather unphysical shadow particles", he refrained from publishing his results formally.[6] Although Pauli did not publish his six-dimensional theory, he gave two seminar lectures about it in Zürich in November 1953
