Theory Of Gravitation

The predictions for the perihelion shift, the deflection of light, and the delay time of a light ray are calculated in the nonsymmetric theory of gravitation. An upper bound for the parameter l (that occurs as a constant of integration in the static, spherically symmetric solution of the field equations) is obtained for the sun for the experimental value of the perihelion shift of Mercury, yielding [Formula: see text]. The upper bound on [Formula: see text] obtained from the Viking spacecraft time-delay experiment is [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], we find that the theory is consistent with the standard relativistic experiments for the solar system. The theory predicts that the perihelion of a satellite could reverse its direction of precession if it orbits close enough to the sun. The results for a highly eccentric satellite orbit are calculated in terms of the value [Formula: see text].

Theory Of Gravitation

Abstract A metric theory of gravitation is suggested which reduces to Einstein's theory in the case of vanishing matter. If matter is present, in the Lagrangian formulation of the theory the principle of minimal coupling is given up by directly linking the matter variables to the curvature tensor. The theory contains a free parameter of dimension length. It is considered not to be a universal constant but a length characteristic for the mass of the material system described. Results diverging from those of General Relativity are to be expected for regions with high curvature i. e. especially for gravitational collapse and dense phases of the cosmos. An exact, static and spherically symmetric solution with constant matter density is discussed; it indicates that, possibly, gravitational collapse is avoided.

Tetrad Theory

We give three different spherically symmetric spacetimes for the coupled gravitational and electromagnetic fields with charged source in the tetrad theory of gravitation. One of these contains an arbitrary function and generates the others. These spacetimes give the Reissner–Nordström metric black hole. We then calculated the energy associated with these spacetimes using the superpotential method. We find that unless the time-space components of the tetrad field go to zero faster than [Formula: see text] at infinity, one gets different results for the energy.
