What is the lagrangian of Einstein field equations

What is a lagrangian such that Euler-Lagrange equation (not sure if it's correct form for this case) $$\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial g_{\mu\nu}}=\partial_\lambda\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\par …

What are the properties of metric tensor? [duplicate]

It's frequently said that graviton has spin-2, so its wave function should have $5$ independent components. The metric tensor has $n^2=16$ components, but it obeys the following property: \begin{equat …

Can the metric tensor always be diagonalized?

I know a few examples of metric tensors (flat, spherical, hyperbolic, Schwartzchild, Kerr, Kerr-Newman) and there's a common property between them. All of them can be expressed as \begin{equation} g_{ …

What is the stress-energy tensor in this case?

In case of static point mass we have the following stress energy tensor $$T_{00}=m\delta^3(\vec{r})$$ And other components are zero. What are the components of this tensor in case of moving point mass …

Are metrics of general relativity tested?

We tested general relativity with effects as gravitational lensing and existence of black holes (Schwarzschild metric). But there are other metrics, e.g. Kerr-Newman metric for a point mass with charg …
