An approach to the theory of gravity with an arbitrary reference level of energy density

Abstract
Five-vectors theory of gravity is proposed, which admits an arbitrary choice of the energy density reference level. This theory is formulated as the constraint theory, where the Lagrange multipliers turn out to be restricted to some class of vector fields unlike the General Relativity (GR), where they are arbitrary. A possible cosmological implication of the proposed model is that the residual vacuum fluctuations dominate during the whole evolution of the universe. That resembles
the universe having a nearly linear dependence of a scale factor on cosmic time.
