1 SOME POSSIBLE FEATURES OF GENERAL EXPRESSIONS FOR LOVELOCK TENSORS AND FOR THE COEFFICIENTS OF LOVELOCK LAGRANGIANS UP TO THE 15 th ORDER IN CURVATURE (AND BEYOND) C. C. Briggs Center for Academic Computing, Penn State University, University Park, PA Tuesday, August 18, 1998 Astract. This paper presents some possile features of general expressions for Lovelock tensors for the coefficients of Lovelock Lagrangians up to the 15 th order in curvature ( eyond) in terms of the Riemann-Christoffel Ricci curvature tensors the Riemann curvature scalar for n-dimensional differentiale manifolds having a general linear connection. PACS numers: k, Cv, Fy The sheer size of many of these calculations oggles the mind. At times, several million terms are manipulated in such calculations, whereas the final result is often quite small. Boyle, A., B. F. Caviness, Future Directions for Research in Symolic Computation, Society for Industrial Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, PA (1990), p. 42. This paper presents an assortment of possile features of general expressions for Lovelock tensors G (p)a the coefficients L (p) of Lovelock Lagrangians up to the 15 th order in curvature ( eyond) in terms of the Riemann- Christoffel Ricci curvature tensors R d ac R a, respectively, the Riemann curvature scalar R for n-dimensional differentiale manifolds having a general linear connection, the features having een otained, for 0 p 5, y inspection of complete expressions presented elsewhere 1, for p 6, y extrapolation of the results otained for 0 p 5. In accordance with various general definitions given y Müller-Hoissen 2 Verwimp, 3 general expressions for L (p) G (p)a are given y L (p) = 1, if p = 0 (2p)! i R 1 i 2 i 2 p [i1 i Ri3 3 i 4 2 i Ri2p 4 1 i 2p ] i 2p 1 i (1) 2p, ifp > 0 G (p)a = δ a, ifp = 0 (2p 1)! 2 p 1 p δ [a R i 1 i 2 i i 1 i Ri3 3 i 4 2 i Ri2 4 p 1 i 2 p ] i 2 p 1 i, (2) 2 p, ifp > 0 respectively, which formulas comprise (2p)! (2p 1)! covariant index permutations, respectively, where δ a is the Kronecker delta; R a cd = g ce R d ae ; g a is the contravariant metric tensor (the possily non-vanishing covariant derivative of which vanishes identically if the connection under consideration is Riemannian), which satisfies the equation g ac g c = δ a, where g a is the covariant metric tensor. Following Schouten, 4 the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor R d ac is defined y R d d d e e d ac 2( [a Γ ] c Γ [a e Γ ] c Ω a Γ e c ) (3) using anholonomic coordinates (of which holonomic coordinates are a special case), where a is the Pfaffian derivative, Γ a c the connection coefficient, Ω a c the oject of anholonomity; the Ricci curvature tensor R a y R a R c ca = R c ac = R c ca 2 ( [c Q c a] S d ca Q c d ), (4) where a is the covariant derivative, Q c a the nonmetricity tensor, S d ca the torsion tensor; the Riemann curvature scalar R y R R a a = R a a = R a a = R a a = R a a. (5) Now let a p = numer of terms in general expression for L (p), (6) c p = numer of partitions of p, (7) = a p c p, (8) p = numer of terms in general expression for G (p)a. (9) Values for a p, c p,, p for 0 p 5 determined empirically appear elow in Tales (1) through (4).

In addition, Eq. (10) yields the formula 4 = 3 3, (12) where 0 p 1, which yields the recurrence 4 = , (13) where 0 p 1. In Tale (4) for p, it can e seen that p 2 = 7 p 9 p, (14) where 0 p 3, which yields the recurrence p 2 = 7 p 1 7 p 9 p, (15) where 0 p 3. In addition, Eq. (14) yields the formula 2 p 2 = 7 3 p, (16) where 0 p 2, which yields the recurrence p 4 = 9 p 3 22 p 2 21 p 1 7 p, (17) where 0 p 1. 1 Briggs, C.
