Key Equations

$$G_{\mu\nu} + \Lambda g_{\mu\nu} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4}\, T_{\mu\nu}$$
$$G_{\mu\nu} + \Lambda g_{\mu\nu} = 8\pi\, T_{\mu\nu}$$
$$R_{\mu\nu} - \frac{1}{2}\, g_{\mu\nu}\, R = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4}\, T_{\mu\nu}$$
$$R_{\mu\nu} = 0 \qquad \text{(when } T_{\mu\nu} = 0, \Lambda = 0 \text{)}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
