- Gravitational Waves - A Review on the Conceptual Foundations of Gravitational Radiation
Alain Dirkes
In this manuscript we review the theoretical foundations of gravitational waves in the framework of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Following Einstein's early effor…

The 1.5 post-Newtonian radiative quadrupole moment in the context of a nonlocal field theory of gravity
Alain Dirkes
We recently suggested a nonlocal modification of Einstein's field equations in which Newton's constant was promoted to a covariant differential operator . The latt…

Degravitation, Orbital Dynamics and the Effective Barycentre
Alain Dirkes
In this article we present a particular theory of gravity in which Einstein's field equations are modified by promoting Newton's constant to a covariant differential operator $…

Degravitation and the relaxed Einstein equations
Alain Dirkes
The general idea to modify Einstein's field equations by promoting Newton's constant to a covariant differential operator was apparently outlined for the first ti…
