Einstein-Proca theory couples general relativity to a massive vector field governed by the Proca action. Its matter stress-energy tensor is
Tab​=Fac​Fb​c−41​gab​Fcd​Fcd+m2(Aa​Ab​−21​gab​Ac​Ac).

The contracted Bianchi identity makes the Einstein equation compatible with the covariant Proca equation.

Einstein-Proca theory
The Proca stress-energy tensor is the metric variation of the matter part of the Proca action. It consists of the electromagnetic stress-energy tensor plus the quadratic mass contribution m2(Aa​Ab​−gab​A2/2).
