Line 8:
If dark matter is described as a merely Lorentz-covariant field, then L<sub>D</sub> might take the form
 
:<math> L_D = ( {g_\alpha}_\beta - s {\eta_\alpha}_\beta ) s^2 {M^\alpha}^\beta </math>
 
or
 
:<math> L_D = ( g^{\mu \nu} s )_{, \nu} s^32 \lambda_\mu </math>
 
where s is a scale factor, the square-root of the classical Newtonian gravitational potential. M and &lambda; are Lagrange multipliers. (See also Nordström's theory of gravitation and the Weyl curvature tensor.)
