The mixed source is

It is symmetric and has total derivative order at most two.

Every constant coefficient in

is determined by

The dot in this formal generating formula is the coordinate covector pairing. The expression is independent of . The coefficients vanish for .

Proof. Expand the connection of . Its linear terms are , and its mixed coefficient is . Its mixed Ricci, scalar-curvature, and Einstein coefficients are exactly (eq:mixedRicci)–(eq:mixedEinstein).

The determinant supplies the two trace terms, and the two inverse metrics in the lowered Euler density supply the four index conversion terms in (eq:Qevaluated). The Euler prefactor supplies the factor two.

Alternatively, differentiate (eq:J2evaluated) at in direction . Its derivative is ; the derivatives of and of the index-conversion terms are the remaining six terms. The density calculation and the mixed curvature calculation therefore agree.

All resulting terms are products of jets with total derivative order at most two. Exponential substitution converts them into the independent monomials , so coefficient extraction determines every coefficient uniquely.
