Description
I present a new formulation of General Relativity. The action is quadratic in the curvature and the equations of motion involve the divergence of the Riemann tensor. I show that this formulation is well posed and is equivalent to the Einstein equations. Overall, this formulation provides a surprising and peculiar new point of view on the Einstein equations.
