The Hoyle - Narlikar
Th eo~y
of Gravitation
1. Introduction
The success of Maxwell's equations has led to
electrodynamics being normally formulated in terms of fields
~articles
that have decrees of freedom independent of the
them .
However , Gauss suggested tnat an
in
ac~ ion-at-a-distance
t :1eory in \'Jhich the action travelled at a finite velocity
might b e possible .
This i dea was developed by 1heeler and
1
Feynman ( 1 , 2 ) who derived their theory from an action-principle
tha·t involved only direct int eractions between pairs of par·ticles .
A
feature of this theory was that the ' pseudo '- fields
int roduced are the half- retarded plus half-advanced fields
claculated from bhe worl d - lines of the particles . However,
··! :1eeler and JJ'eynman , and , in a different v-1a;; , Ho,-artli
(3)
were able to show that, provided certain c osmolo3ical
condit ions were satisfied, these field s could combine to
4
6ive the observed field. Hoyle and Narlikar ( ) extended
·tt1e ory to general space - t;imes and obtained similar theories
for thE:ir ' C'-field (5)and for the gravi·tational f:fueld (G).
It is with these theories that this chapter is concerned.

There is an important difference , ho\vevor, bet\veen these
field-equations in the direct - particle ir1teraction tc.eory
and ii1 tl1e usual general tneory of re L&.tivity . In the
seneral tneory of relativity, any metric that satisfies t he
the field-equations is admissible, but in the
interaction theory only
t~ose
tlirect -particl ~~
solutions of the field - equations
are admissible that satisfy t he additional requirement :
-

This requirement is highly restrictive;

The difficulty is similar to that

might be infinite .

Howev er, one is

Introduction
Perturbations of a spatially isotropic and homogeneous expanding
universe have been investigated in a Newtonic'Jl approximation by
1
Bonnor( ) and relativistically by Lifshitz( 2 ), Liftshitz and
Khalatnikov(3) and Irvine( 4 ).
Their method was to consider small
variations of the metric tensor.
This has the disadvantage that the
metric tensor is not a physically significant quantity, since one
cannot dire ctly measure it, but only its second derivatives.
It is
thus not obvious what the physical interpretation of a given
perturbation of the metric is .
Indeed it need have no physical
significance at all, but merely correspond to a coordinate transformation.
Instead it seerns preferable to deal in terms of'
perturbations of the physically significant quantity, the curvature .

However since C is a scalar, this implies that the rotation of the
medium is zero.
On the other hand if (23) does not hold , the equations
are indeterminate (c.r. Raychaudhuri and Bannerjee( 11 )) . In order to
have a deterrninate set of equations we will adopt ( 23) but drop the
requirement that
Ca
is the gradient of a scalar.
The condition (23)
is not very satisfactory but it is difficult to think of one more
satisfactory. Hoyle and Narlikar( 12 ) seek to avoid this dj_ff~iculty
by taking a particle ratl1er than a fluid picture.

It 11as been suggested by I-Iogarth ( 1 8 ) and Hoyle and Na'Y'likar ( 1 O),
that there may be a connectio n between the absorptio n of radiation
and the Arrow of Time.
Thus in universes like the steady-s tate, in
which all electroma gnetic radiation emitted is :ventuall y absorbed by
other matter, the Absorber theory would predic
retarded solutions of
the Maxwell equations while in evolutionary universes in which
electroinagnetic radiation is not completely absorbed it would predict
advanced solutions.
Similarly, if one accepted this theory, one would
expect retarded solutions of the Einstein equations if and only if all
gravitational r·adiation emitted is eventually absorbed by other ma.t ter.

~ifshitz and Khalatnikov6 claim to have proved that ~

Their method is to contract a solution with a

general solution with a singularity, and then show that it
has one fewer arbitrary function than a fully general solution .

The method used by Penrose to prove the occurrence
of a physical s i ngulari ty depends on the existence of a
non- compact Cauchy surface .
A Cauchy surface will be taken
to mean a complete , connected space-like surface that
intersects every time- like and null line once and once only .
