  • <p><span>Abstract</span></p> <p><span>We present a renormalizable scalar formulation of gravity, the Inertial Gravity Theory (IGT) that couples consistently to the Standard Model within a flat background. The theory replaces geometric curvature with a scalar inertial field<span>  </span>that modifies local inertial density rather than spacetime itself</span><span>.</span><span> </span><span>IGT is novel because it reformulates gravitational interaction as a classical energy‑partition process in which the local coupling G M /(r c²) emerges from inertial‑density conservation.<span>  </span>The resulting field law replicates <span>all classical weak-field and strong field<span>  </span>tests of General Relativity (GR)</span><span> [1-3]<span>  </span></span><span>, including tensorial gravitational waves</span><span> </span>in a purely vector‑scalar framework.<span>  </span>This establishes IGT as a self‑consistent, self‑renormalizing alternative to both metric gravity and quantum‑gravity <span>extensions</span><span> </span><span>[7,18,19] . All operators in the Lagrangian are dimension-4, ensuring perturbative renormalizability at one loop. Explicit counterterm analysis shows that divergences close on the original operator basis, without requiring higher-dimensional corrections or tensor structures. The framework preserves gauge invariance and canonical kinetic normalization, yielding a well-defined set of beta functions for both gravitational and gauge couplings . This approach provides a minimal, flat-background alternative to general relativity and scalar-tensor models, compatible with established quantum-field-theoretic methods and standard renormalization procedures.</span></span></p>
