Abstract
It presents the basics of the “Relativistic theory of gravitation”, with the inclusion of original
texts, from various papers, published between 1987 and 2009, by theirs authors: S. S
Gershtein, A. A. Logunov, Yu. M. Loskutov and M. A. Mestvirishvili, additionally, together with
the introductions, summaries and conclusions of the author of this paper.
The “Relativistic theory of gravitation” is a gauge theory, compatible with the theories of
quantum physics of the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces, which defines gravity as the
fourth force existing in nature, as a static field equipped with the transmitter particles of the
virtual gravitons of spins 2 and 0, within the spirit of Galilei's principle of relativity, in his
generalization of Poincaré's Special Relativity that allowed the authors to universalize that the
physical laws of nature are complied with regardless of the frames of reference where they
apply, integrated into the Grossmann-Einstein Entwurf theory, in its further development, by
those authors, therefore, this theory preserves the conservation laws of energy-impulse and
angular impulse of the gravitational field jointly to the other material fields existing in nature,
in the Riemann's effective spacetime, through its identity with Minkowski's pseudo Euclidean
spacetime.
