Abstract

The wave type field equation $\square \vt^a=\la \vt^a$, where $\vt^a$ is a coframe field on a space-time, was recently proposed to describe the gravity field. This equation has a unique static, spherical-symmetric, asymptotically-flat solution, which leads to the viable Yilmaz-Rosen metric. We show that the wave type field equation is satisfied by the pseudo-conformal frame if the conformal factor is determined by a scalar 3D-harmonic function. This function can be related to the Newtonian potential of classical gravity. So we obtain a direct relation between the non-relativistic gravity and the relativistic model: every classical exact solution leads to a solution of the field equation. With this result we obtain a wide class of exact, static metrics. We show that the theory of Yilmaz relates to the pseudo-conformal sector of our construction. We derive also a unique cosmological (time dependent) solution of the described type.<br />Comment: Latex, 17 pages
