A formal framework for a nonlocal generalization of Einstein's theory of
  gravitation
  The analogy between electrodynamics and the translational gauge theory of
gravity is employed in this paper to develop an ansatz for a nonlocal
generalization of Einstein's theory of gravitation. Working in the linear
approximation, we show that the resulting nonlocal theory is equivalent to
general relativity with "dark matter". The nature of the predicted "dark
matter", which is the manifestation of the nonlocal character of gravity in our
model, is briefly discussed. It is demonstrated that this approach can provide
a basis for the Tohline-Kuhn treatment of the astrophysical evidence for dark
matter.
