Comments on Theoretical Problems in Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory
Abstract
Damour, Deser and McCarthy have claimed that the nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) is untenable due to curvature coupled ghost modes and bad asymptotic behavior. This claim is false for it is based on a physically inaccurate treatment of wave propagation on a curved background and an incorrect method for extracting asymptotic behavior. We show that the flux of gravitational radiation in NGT is finite in magnitude and positive in sign.
