Title: A theory of gravitation incorporating the quadratic action principle: Further exact solutions

Abstract

The theory of gravitation developed previously rests upon the hypothesis that any permissible metric field whatsoever must satisiy some self-contained set of field equations which, it is proposed, are provided by a quadratic action principle. The set of exact, spherically symmetric, static solutions of these equations is now extended to include all those which belong to Takeno's <>. The surface area of a sphere in such a space-time has a value which does not depend upon the radial coordinate.(auth)
