A New Formulation of General Relativity - Part III: GR as Scalar Field Theory
Joachim Schröter
The aim of this paper (Part III) is formulating GR as a scalar field theory. The basic structural elements of it are a generating function, a generalized density and a generalized…

A New Formulation of General Relativity - Part II: Pre-Radar Charts and Generating Functions in Arbitrary Space-Times
Joachim Schröter
In this paper (Part II), the so-called inverse problem is treated. This means the question whether it is possible to define pre-radar charts, i.e. generating functions in arbitrary…

A New Formulation of General Relativity - Part I: Pre-Radar Charts as Generating Functions for Metric and Velocity
Joachim Schröter
In this paper (Part I of a series of three papers) an axiomatic formulation of GR is given, here use is made of the concept of pre-radar charts. These charts have "infinitesimally"…
