Abstract
Cartan proved an important theorem showing that Einstein’s general relativity isessentially the only theory of gravity that involves the metric tensor, its firstderivatives, and linear functions of its second derivatives. Weyl gave a simplified,less general version of this theorem, which we explain in detail. Both emphasizethe centrality of the curvature scalar and the naturalness of general relativity.
