The definition of Tuv is sometimes given as:

Tuv = ((-2) /(sqrt(-g)))*(d(Lmatter*(sqrt(-g))))/dguv

This equation is written here with lots of brackets because I can't make nice formulas in the editor field.

A good version for this equation is shown in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_(field_theory)

under the chapter Einstein Gravity.

My question is: what is the value of the Lagrangian of matter Lmatter under the condition that space is filled homogeneously and isotropic with energy. Thus Rho, the density, is constant.

If this Lagrangian of matter is a constant then the formula is in words:

a quotient multiplied by a differential of a constant.

The solution to a differential of a constant is zero.

With that Tuv for above mentioned space is zero for any value of Rho.

Is this correct or not?
