Abstract

We propose a generalization of gravitational interactions where the action contains, instead of the square root of the metric determinant, the square root of determinant of some other tensor field. We analyze the action as a possible alternative or addition to the Einstein gravity. Cosmological consequences of this hypothesis are briefly discussed.
