Back to manuscript

The coefficient of in involves the coefficient of in . A covariant demand at that order requires a third classical metric jet and its transformation law. It is not a condition on an unchanged two-jet alone. We use (eq:metric-expansion) for the invariant two-jet surface, and keep the exact equation (eq:E-q) when no truncation is intended.
