Variation of the Einstein Hilbert Action (Tensor Algebra)

It was because in my second line of working I did not contract the first and third indices in my equation for the variation of the Riemann tensor. It should look like this $$\implies g^{\mu \nu}\delta …

Variation of the Einstein Hilbert Action (Tensor Algebra)

I'm struggling a bit with the algebra involved in deriving the variance of the Einstein Hilbert Action. I have that: $$\delta R^{\lambda}_{\mu \alpha \nu} = \nabla_{\alpha}\delta \Gamma^{\lambda}_{\nu …

Manipulation of Einstein's equation

In my lecture notes, there is the following consequence of Einstein's equations, (it follows on to have multiple consequences, so I don't think there's a mistake in the notes): $$R_{\mu\nu} - \frac{1} …
