Remarks on theoretical problems in nonsymmetric gravitational theory

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 the incorrect assertion that only non-falling-off solutions can be found for the field equations, and that the …
