It is in the nature
of
gravitation
that
we are
most interested in tensors
of
rank
two,
which
can
be formed
by
inner
multiplication
of
this tensor
of
rank four with the
gmv.
Due to the
symmetry properties
of the
Riemannian
tensor,
apparent
from
(10), viz.,
(ik,
lm)
=
(lm,
ik)
(ik, lm)
=
-(ki,
lm),
this
multiplication can
be formed
only
in
one way; whereby one
obtains the tensor
Gim
=
£gkl(ik,
lm).

It is
more advantageous
for
our purposes
to derive this tensor from
a
different form
of
