Summary
A locally Lorentz-invariant curved-space theory of gravitation, where the local field is a massless, spin-2 field, φ gnΜ , of Pauli-Fierz type, is presented. In this theory gΜΝ is no longer the gravitational potential itself, but reduces to a functional gΜΝ(φ{α/Β}) of φ gnΜ . Several rigorous and a general iteration solution of this type are exhibited. The static central-body problem reduces to author’s 1958 theory as a special case φ gnΜ → φ 00 =φ and ∂Μ φ gnΜ → ∂0φ= 0 exactly, so that as in that theory the three classical tests are satisfied.
Riassunto
Si presenta una teoria della gravitazione, con spazio curvo, localmente invariante secondo Lorentz, in cui il campo locale è un campo φ gnΜ con spin 2, senza massa, del tipo di Pauli-Fierz. In questa teoria gΜΝ non è più il potenziale gravitazionale stesso, ma si riduce ad un funzionale gΜΝ (φ gbα ) di φ gnΜ . Si presentano parecchie soluzioni rigorose ed una soluzione generale iterativa di questo tipo. Il problema statico del campo centrale si riduce alla teoria del 1958 dell’autore corne caso speciale per φ gnΜ → φ 00 =φ e ∂Μ φ gnΜ → ∂0 φ = 0 esattamente, cosicché in queste teorie sono soddisfatte le tre prove classiche.
