Abstract
We investigate the static solution with spherical symmetry of a member of a recently proposed class of field theories of gravitation. In this so-called NDL theory, matter interacts with gravity in accordance with the Weak Equivalence Principle, while gravitons have a nonlinear self-interaction. It is shown that the predictions obtained from this solution agree with those of General Relativity in the three classic tests. There are potential differences in the strong-field limit, which we illustrate by proving that this theory does not allow the existence of static and spherically symmetric black holes.
