The Ricci tensor and scalar are normally denoted by the symbol $R$ but this would impose confusion with the curvature tensor, therefore it has been chosen to assign symbol $W$ to the Ricci tensor and scalar.
The **Ricci tensor** is a contraction (simplification) of the Riemann curvature tensor. It provides a way to summarize the curvature of a manifold by focusing on how volumes change in the presence of curvature. The **Ricci scalar** summarizes the curvature information contained in the **Ricci tensor**.

The **Einstein tensor** encapsulates the curvature of the manifold while satisfying the posed conditions (Lovelock's theorem). Such as the following proposition.

## Energy and momentum

Property 1. is a result of the zero torsion axiom and property 2. is the demand of conservation of energy and momentum.
The **energy momentum tensor** describes the matter distribution at each event in spacetime. It acts as a *source* term.
## Einstein field equations
> *Axiom 2*: the Einstein tensor $\mathbf{G}: \Gamma(\mathrm{TM}) \times \Gamma(\mathrm{TM}) \to F$ relates to the energy momentum tensor $\mathbf{T}: \Gamma(\mathrm{T^*M}) \times \Gamma(\mathrm{T^*M}) \to F$ by

This equation (these equations) relate the geometry of spacetime to the distribution of matter within it. For a given $\mathbf{T}$ the system of equations can solve for $\bm{g}$ and vice versa.

## Spherical symmetry
A metric that is time-reversal and time-translation invariant is said to be **static**.

Reducing the determination of the metric to only two functions $A$ and $B$.
## Exterior solution
Outside of the mass distribution the energy-momentum tensor vanishes, so we can impose $\mathbf{W} = \mathbf{0}$. Then, by imposing the weak field limit we have the following.

Notice that for $r_s = \frac{2 G M}{c^2}$ the metric with these coordinates is not defined. This radius is called the **Schwarzschild radius**.

Note that static is automatically implied by spherical symmetry. An important consequence of the theorem is that a purely radially pulsating star cannot emit gravitational radiation, because outside of this star such gravitational radiation would amount to a time-dependent spherically symmetric spacetime geometry in (approximate) vacuum, which, according to the Birkhoffs theorem, cannot be consistent with Einsteins field equations.
