Extract

The general relativistic field equations for regions of space containing electromagnetic fields but no matter are

,

where

,

and κ = 8ΠG/c4 is the gravitational constant. Here g is the metric tensor and F is the electromagnetic field tensor which satisfies Maxwell's equations if

and

,

where Ai is the electromagnetic four-potential.
