The Theory Of Gravity

TL;DR

This paper develops a relativistic theory of gravity within the framework of special relativity, treating all matter fields as sources, and concludes that the universe is flat and cyclic, with conservation laws upheld.

Contribution

It constructs a gauge theory of gravity based on energy-momentum tensors, providing a new perspective on cosmological evolution within special relativity.

Findings

Universe is flat according to RTG

Universe evolves cyclically from maximal to minimal density

Conservation laws are satisfied in the theory

Abstract

In the framework of the special theory of relativity, the relativistic theory of gravitation (RTG) is constructed. The energy-momentum tensor density of all the matter fields (including gravitational one) is treated as a source of the gravitational field. The energy-momentum and the angular momentum conservation laws are fulfilled in this theory. Such an approach permits us to unambiguously construct the gravitional field theory as a gauge theory. According to the RTG, the homogeneous and isotropic Universe is to be ``flat''. It evolves cyclewise from some maximal density to the minimal one, etc. The book is designed for scientific workers, post-graduates and upper-year students majoring in theoretical physics.
