The action (eq:formal-pullback) induces

It preserves and all coefficient Cauchy data at .

Proof. Expand the exponential in (eq:formal-pullback) and collect powers of after substituting (eq:jets). This gives the displayed formulas.

The tensor identity

and the scalar identity

preserve the coefficient equations. These identities follow from the tensorial definitions of the Einstein tensor and the scalar wave operator. Equivalently, they may be verified by substituting the pullback formulas into their coordinate definitions and applying the chain rule.

Since vanish on a neighborhood of , all displayed changes and their time derivatives vanish there.
