Variational theory of the Ricci curvature tensor dynamics

Abstract In this letter a new Lagrangian variational principle is proved to hold for the Einstein field equations, in which the independent variational tensor field is identified with the Ricci curvature tensor $$R^{\mu \nu }$$ R μ ν rather than the metric tensor $$g_{\mu \nu }$$ g μ ν . The corresp...
