Relativity and Gravitational Theory

It is shown how quantum corrections due to matter fields on a five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein background can lead to an induced Einstein-Maxwell action in four dimensions. Results are given for the induced cosmological and gravitational constants when scalar and spinor fields are present.
