Abstract

The gravitation theory is considered in bimetric formulation with a Lagrangian of the most common type and quadratic with respect to the derivativesg ik/l of the metric tensor. Restrictions on the dimensionless parameters of the theory are found, basing on the comparison with the Newtonian theory and the analysis of corresponding observational data in the vicinity of the solar system. Propagation of the weak gravitation waves is investigated in the outside gravitational field.
