The Einstein Tensor and Its Generalizations
TL;DR: In this paper, the number of independent tensors of this type depends crucially on the dimension of the space, and, in the four dimensional case, the only tensors with these properties are the metric and the Einstein tensors.

The mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics
TL;DR: The Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics as mentioned in this paper were the first to provide a rigorous mathematical formulation of quantum theory and a systematic comparison with classical mechanics so that the full ramifications of the quantum revolution could be clearly revealed.

The principle of symmetric criticality
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that if a variational principle is invariant under some symmetry group G, then to test whether a symmetric field configuration ϕ is an extremal, it suffices to check the vanishing of the first variation of the action corresponding to variations ϕ + δϕ that are also symmetric.
The four-dimensionality of space and the einstein tensor
Abstract: All tensors of contravariant valency two, which are divergence free on one index and which are concomitants of the metric tensor, together with its first two derivatives, are constructed in the four‐dimensional case. The Einstein and metric tensors are the only possibilities.
