3 Introduction General relativity: Gravity is a curvature effect. Free particles follow geodesics.
4 Introduction Spacetime: D-dimensional time-orientable Lorentzian manifold equipped with: Metric g µν. Levi-Civita connection: { } Γ ρ µν = ρµν = 1 2 gρλ ( µ g λν + ν g µλ λ g µν ).
5 Introduction Spacetime: D-dimensional time-orientable Lorentzian manifold equipped with: Metric g µν. Levi-Civita connection: Properties: { } Γ ρ µν = ρµν = 1 2 gρλ ( µ g λν + ν g µλ λ g µν ). T ρ µν = Γρ µν Γρ νµ = 0, µg νρ = 0.

7 Introduction Action: S = d D x [ ] 1 g 2κ gµν R µν + L M (φ, g).
8 Introduction Action: S = d D x [ ] 1 g 2κ gµν R µν + L M (φ, g). Equations of motion: R µν 1 2 g µνr = κt µν.
9 Introduction Action: S = d D x [ ] 1 g 2κ gµν R µν + L M (φ, g). Equations of motion: R µν 1 2 g µνr = κt µν. Geodesic curves: ẍ µ + Γ µ νρẋ ν ẋ ρ = 0.

11 Mathematical reasons: Absence of torsion. Metric compatibility. Uniqueness. Introduction
12 Mathematical reasons: Introduction Absence of torsion. Metric compatibility. Uniqueness. ( { } ) Physical reasons: Γ ρ µν(p) = ρµν + Sµν ρ + Tµν ρ Equivalence principle: Γ ρ µν(p) = 0 T ρ µν = 0.
13 Mathematical reasons: Introduction Absence of torsion. Metric compatibility. Uniqueness. ( { } ) Physical reasons: Γ ρ µν(p) = ρµν + Sµν ρ + Tµν ρ Equivalence principle: Γ ρ µν(p) = 0 T ρ µν = 0. We want metric geodesics = affine geodesics S ρ µν = 0.
14 Mathematical reasons: Introduction Absence of torsion. Metric compatibility. Uniqueness. ( { } ) Physical reasons: Γ ρ µν(p) = ρµν + Sµν ρ + Tµν ρ Equivalence principle: Γ ρ µν(p) = 0 T ρ µν = 0. We want metric geodesics = affine geodesics S ρ µν = 0. Are they enough? Although these are valid reasons, it seems that L-C is put by hand. It would be perfect if there was a physical mechanism that selects Levi-Civita over other possibilities.

It would be perfect if there was a physical mechanism that selects Levi-Civita over other possibilities. If I find a variational principle that have L-C as a solution, is it unique? Which one is the most general solution?
