Arbitrary tensor concomitants of a bivector and a metric in a space-time manifold

Abstract

In the general theory of relativity the energy-momentum tensor due to an electromagnetic field is taken to be a symmetric rank-two tensor concomitant of a bivector and the metric tensor. As a step in the discussion of the possible uniqueness of this tensor we display a method for finding all tensor concomitants of a bivector and a metric in a space-time manifold.
