Gravitation as a Plastic Distortion of the Lorentz Vacuum

Addressing graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics and mathematics, this volume presents a new formulation of the theory of gravity. New mathematical concepts are introduced, which illustrate the deformation of geometries, the key to describing the gravitational field.

Introduces a new theory of the gravitational field Novel mathematical concepts are presented and explained in detail Explicitly demonstrates advantages over previous descriptions of the gravitational field
