Weyl tensor
In differential geometry, the Weyl curvature tensor, named after Hermann Weyl, is the traceless component of the Riemann curvature tensor. In other words, it is a tensor that has the same symmetries as the Riemann curvature tensor with the extra condition that its Ricci curvature must vanish.
