(8)[4] Then we know that in covariant relations only the and the antisymmetric derivatives of the may occur.[5] The matrix of the is expressed in terms of the and the thus: . (9) From this it follows that assumes the form or . (10) Now let us assume that τ is an arbitrary parameter in R5 and that . (10a) Then geodesic lines are characterized in the familiar way by the equation , (11) that is, by the equations . (11a) For α = 0 one obtains . If one now chooses τ so that W = const., then this equation yields . (12) Because of (10a), it is the case that, on the geodesic line .
