Theory of a direct interparticle gravitational interaction against a riemannian background

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Fokker's action principle is used to derive a theory for a direct interparticle gravitational interaction. In the first approximation in the interaction constant, and for a background metric satisfying the condition Rμν=0, this formulation of gravitational theory leads to equations of motion which are the equations of geodesics in some effective Riemannian space-time, and it leads to identical satisfaction of Einstein's equations.
