Gravitation as a Plastic Distortion of the Lorentz Vacuum
Addressing graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics and mathematics, this book presents a new formulation of the theory of gravity. In the new approach the gravitational field has the same ontology as the electromagnetic, strong, and weak

Preface
In this book we present a theory of the gravitational field where this field (a kind of ‘square root’ of g) is represented by a (1, 1)-extensor field h describing a plastic distortion of the Lorent
