Ricci decomposition is a mathematical concept often discussed in the context of Riemannian geometry and the theory of Einstein spaces in general relativity. The Ricci decomposition can be fundamentally linked to the decomposition of symmetric (0,2) tensors, particularly the metric tensor and the Ricci curvature tensor, into different components that have specific geometric interpretations.
