For a symmetric , set

Define

Then

These are obtained by expanding the Christoffel and Ricci formulas with the displayed Ricci convention. Terms linear in give .

As a direct check,

Also,

This necessary conservation law does not imply that arbitrary zero metric Cauchy data satisfy the gravitational constraints.
