Using the components of the curvature tensor, we can easily calculate the non-vanishing components of the Ricci tensor S and its covariant derivatives as follows:

The Riemann-Christoffel or curvature tensor for the gravitational field is then constructed and the Ricci tensor obtained from it as (2.18)-(2.22).

In search of a general theory, it is natural to ask about a basic inequality (corresponding to the inequality (1.1)) involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature of any submanifold of any Riemannian manifold without assuming any restriction on the Riemann curvature tensor of the ambient manifold.

The basic quantity, a spatial dreibein, parameterizes unit quaternions, that is, group elements of SU(2) with nontrivial winding on its group manifold [S.sub.3] which give rise to a connection, in turn, defining the curvature tensor. Solving the static field equations, this yields solitons whose topological charge can be matched to electric charge after a reduction of the non-Abelian curvature to the 't Hooft tensor is performed.
