Abstract

The present paper and a companion work are intended as one possible realization of a non-customary gauge theory of general relativity-as set forth in only broad outline in an earlier work. In this first paper, it is found that both radar echo delay and the perihelion shift differ slightly from their customary expressions. Unfortunately, it is also found that the usual statement of the principle of equivalence does not hold in the present formulation. Finally, in the second paper, a single cosmological model is investigated that appears to be promising.
