We study a class of nonlocal, but causal, covariant and conserved field equations for the metric. Although nonlocal, these equations do not seem to possess extra graviton solutions in weak field perturbation theory. Indeed, the equations reduce to those of general relativity when the Ricci scalar vanishes throughout spacetime. When a static matter source is present, we show how these equations can be adjusted to reproduce Milgrom's modified Newtonian dynamics in the weak field regime, while reducing to general relativity for strong fields. We compute the angular deflection of light in the weak field regime and demonstrate that it is the same as for general relativity, resulting in far too little lensing if no dark matter is present. We also study the field equations for a general Robertson–Walker geometry. An interesting feature of our equations is that they become conformally invariant in the MOND limit.
