In the paper we construct the nonsymmetric Jordan‐Thiry theory unifying Moffat's theory of gravitation, the Yang‐Mills' field, the Higgs' fields and scalar forces in a geometric manner. We discuss spontaneous symmetry breaking, the Higgs' mechanism and mass generation in the theory. The scalar field Ψ (as in classical Jordan‐Thiry theory) is connected to the effective gravitational constant. This field is massive and has Yukawa‐type behavior. We discuss the relation between R + invariance and U (1) F from G. U. T. within Einstein λ‐transformation, and fermion number conservation. In this way we connect W μ ‐field from nonsymmetric theory of gravitation with a gauge field A μ Ffrom G. U. T. We derive the equation of motion for a test particle from conservation laws in the hydrodynamic limit.
