= Einstein-Proca theory
{c}

Einstein-Proca theory couples <general relativity> to a massive vector field governed by the <Proca action>. Its matter stress-energy tensor is
$$
T_{ab}=F_{ac}F_b{}^c-\frac14g_{ab}F_{cd}F^{cd}
+m^2\left(A_aA_b-\frac12g_{ab}A_cA^c\right).
$$
The <contracted Bianchi identity> makes the Einstein equation compatible with the covariant <Proca equation>.
