TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown how a four-dimensional gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten term arises from the five-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert plus Gauss-Bonnet Lagrangian with a special choice of the coefficients.
Abstract: In this paper two things are done. First it is shown how a four-dimensional gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten term arises from the five-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert plus Gauss-Bonnet Lagrangian with a special choice of the coefficients. Second, the way in which the equations of motion of four-dimensional General Relativity arise is exhibited.

TL;DR: In this paper, the conservation laws based upon the existence of curvature and Ricci collineations are investigated and the results given recently by Katzin, Levine and Davis are reinterpreted and generalized.
Abstract: The conservation laws based upon the existence of curvature and Ricci collineations are investigated and the results given recently by Katzin, Levine and Davis are reinterpreted and generalized. The concept of a ‘Maxwell collineation’ is introduced and corresponding conservation laws are found.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that Einstein made essential use of aim-oriented empiricism in scientific practice in developing special and general relativity, and the extent to which he came explicitly to advocate aimoriented empirics in his later years.
Abstract: In this paper I show that Einstein made essential use of aim-oriented empiricism in scientific practice in developing special and general relativity. I conclude by considering to what extent Einstein came explicitly to advocate aim-oriented empiricism in his later years.
