Coordinate conditions and field equations for pure composite gravity

Whenever an alternative theory of gravity is formulated in a background Minkowski space, the conditions characterizing admissible coordinate systems, in which the alternative theory of gravity may be applied, play an important role. We here propose Lorentz covariant coordinate conditions for the composite theory of pure gravity developed from the Yang-Mills theory based on the Lorentz group, thereby completing this previously proposed higher derivative theory of gravity. The physically relevant static isotropic solutions are determined by various methods, the high-precision predictions of general relativity are reproduced, and an exact black-hole solution with mildly singular behavior is found.
