Scientific paper

A gravitational lagrangian is proposed which is quadratic in the Riemann tensor and which in dimension greater than four yields second-order field equations. Applied to Kaluza-Klein theory, it contains a term which can be used to cancel the vacuum-fluctuation energy and yield a vanishing cosmological constant. The gravitational coupling constant appears naturally as the curvature of the compactified internal dimensions.
