There is Nordstrom theory of the particle moving in a scalar field φ(x): S=−m∫eφ(x)√ηαβdxαdλdxβdλdλ.
How to get the equation of motion for massless objects? In this case I may introduce new parameter √ηαβdxαdλdxβdλdλ=dτm.
But when I try to derive (like this way) the equations of motion, I get ∂αφ=m2ddτ(uαeφ)e−φ.
Unfortunately, this equation doesn't predict the absense of deflection of light. But Nordstrom theory really predicts the deflection of light. So where is the mistake in my reasoning?
Addition.
I got the mistake. By introducing new parameter τ I must rewrite my equation in a form ∂αφ=1m2ddτ(pαeφ)e−φ.
So it really preficts no deflection of light.
