For metric signature , and small dimensionless ratios and , the metric perturbation is , . Substitution into the linearized Ricci tensor and scalar formula givesThe contraction is , so . These signs use . Static zero-anisotropic-stress boundary conditions give and the Newtonian limit; without those assumptions the two potentials and their time derivatives must be retained.
