Poincare gauge theory of gravitation and the binary pulsar 1913+16
Description
The post-Newtonian approximations of a Poincare gauge theory of gravitation, proposed by Hehl et al. (1978), are shown to agree with Einstein's theory to fourth order. In addition, Einstein's quadrupole formula for the gravitational radiation holds in a naive linearized approximation. Hence, the theory is not only in agreement with the solar system tests, but is also consistent with observations of the binary pulsar 1913+16. (Auth.)
