A Quadratic Curvature Lagrangian of Pawłowski and Raczka: A Finger Exercise with MathTensor
Chapter
Summary
Recently Pawłowski and Raczka (P&R) proposed a unified model for the fundamental interactions which does not contain a physical Higgs field. The gravitational field equation of their model is rederived under heavy use of the computer algebra system Mathematica and its package MathTensor.
