Abstract

The Einstein-Proca field is 'geometrised' in the sense that the joint field equations are generated by a variational principle, the Lagrangian of which is solely a certain function of curvature quantities and the metric tensor gij of an A4*, i.e. of a linearly connected space A4 with symmetric connection on which an additional symmetric tensor field gij is defined.
