Higher-Order Lovelock Tensors and the Coefficients of Higher-Order Lovelock Lagrangians and Exterior Differential Forms Including Higher-Order Chern Forms and Their Coefficients Expressed in Terms of Pontrjagin's Characteristic Tensors of the Second Kind

This book presents general expressions for higher-order Lovelock tensors and the coefficients of higher-order Lovelock Lagrangians in terms of the Riemann-Christoffel and Ricci curvature tensors and Riemann curvature scalar and exterior differential forms including higher-order Chern forms and their coefficients expressed in terms of Pontrjagin's characteristic tensors of the second kind.
