Summary
A field theory of gravitation where the stress-energy tensor of gravity contributes to geometric curvatures is described. The field is locally Lorentz covariant, namely in an infinitesimally small laboratory (not necessarily freely falling) the equations are formally the same as they would be in special relativity. The theory reproduces all known gravitational effects correctly and has experimental consequences differing from those of the Einsteinian theory.
Riassunto
Si descrive una teoria di campo per la gravitazione in cui il tensore sforzo-energia della gravità contribuisce alle curvature geometriche. Il campo è localmente covariante secondo Lorentz, vale a dire in un laboratorio infinitamente piccolo (non necessariamente in caduta libera) le equazioni sono formalmente le stesse come sarebbero nella relatività ristretta. La teoria riproduce correttamente tutti gli effetti gravitazionali noti ed ha conseguenze sperimentali che si discostano da quelle della teoria di Einstein.
Резюме
Описывается полевая теория гравитации, в которой тензор энергиинапряжений для гравитации дает вклад в геометрическую кривизну. Рассматриваемое поле является локально Лорентц-ковариантным, то есть в бесконечно малой лаборатории (не обязательно свободно падающей) исследуемые уравнения оказываются формально такими же как в специальной теории относительности. Предложенная теория правильно воспроизводит все известные гравитационные эффекты, но имеет экспериментальные следствия, отличающиеся от следствий теории Эйнштейна.
