Let , with , and hold the free scalar fixed. Then
If and , the response simplifies to
Proof. Naturality of the invariant Einstein Euler tensor density under the infinitesimal flow of is exact. Its expansion is . The metric variation is . At order , covariance gives
proving (eq:dJ). Applying the fixed linear response operator proves (eq:du). Linearity of proves (eq:dC).
If , only remains in (eq:dJ). Since is compact inside , its data vanish initially. Use
and the left inverse identity on compact tests to obtain
