Abstract
We examine the Newtonian potential in gravitational cohomology. This is given by a symmetric, two-index tensor field, which satisfies the wave equation in empty space. Furthermore, the associated gravitational field strength, obtained by applying the coboundary operator to the potential, is constructed for the case of a stationary point mass and shown to give the classical result.
