Description

I present a new gravity theory based on the Schouten and Codazzi tensors. Field equations are second order and generalize Einstein's equations with a well defined correspondence limit. Exact solutions with static spherical symmetry and with the Robertson-Walker metric contain extra terms with the potential to account for dark energy effects. The theory is still under development but it is logically self-consistent. Its predictions should be further examined and tested.
