Uniqueness of the metric from the Weyl and energy‐momentum tensors

It is shown that for a general space‐time in Einstein’s theory (with the term ‘‘general’’ being precisely defined) the Weyl tensor and energy‐momentum tensor determine the metric up to a constant conformal factor. One of the conclusions may be interpreted as a generalization of the well‐known Brinkm...
