These equations, and their coupling, follow from the variational principle applied to a Lagrangian constructed from natural geometric invariants. We also briefly indicate how other forces can potentially be incorporated within this geometric framework.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-28T05:50:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "einstein equations", "natural geometric invariants", "clifford bundle", "geometric framework", "variational principle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
