Abstract: | In our preceding paper {see L. Sh. Grigorian and S. Gottlöber, Astrofizika (in press)]} we investigated a self-gravitating system consisting of a scalar field and a linear tensor field ik= ki with minimal coupling and with allowance for the action of vacuum polarization effects. In the present paper we investigate the case of a nonlinear tensor field ik. The action S
()
of the field ik is determined by the difference Rik — ik, where Rik is the space-time Ricci tensor and Rik is the analogous quantity constructed using the metric ik=gik+ik induced by ik ( is a free parameter). Here
S

coincides with the previously known expression for the action of a linear field ik. Equations of motion are derived for ik in curved space-time. The energy-momentum metric tensor, determining the contribution of ik to the gravitational field equations, is calculated.Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 39, No. 1, pp. 135–144, January-March, 1996. |
