General properties of vacuum solutions of () gravity are obtained by the condition that the divergence of the Weyl tensor is zero and ′′≠0. Specifically, a theorem states that the gradient of the curvature scalar, ∇, is an eigenvector of the Ricci tensor and, if it is timelike, the spacetime is a Generalized Friedman–Robertson–Walker metric; in dimension four, it is Friedman–Robertson–Walker.

Abstract

General properties of vacuum solutions of () gravity are obtained by the condition that the divergence of the Weyl tensor is zero and ′′≠0. Specifically, a theorem states that the gradient of the curvature scalar, ∇, is an eigenvector of the Ricci tensor and, if it is timelike, the spacetime is a Generalized Friedman–Robertson–Walker metric; in dimension four, it is Friedman–Robertson–Walker.
