Abstract: | The author's geometrical theory of the scalar-tensor gravitational field is extended by formulating it in terms of a Lagrangian. An exact solution of the coupled nonlinear field equations for a static point mass is also presented. This theory which is conformally equivalent to the empty spaceEinstein equations predicts the same results for experiments as the usual theory of Brans and Dicke which has a non-zero energy momentum tensor. |
