text:
In general relativity and gravitation the Palatini variation is nowadays thought of as a variation of a Lagrangian with respect to the connection. In fact, as is well known, the Einstein–Hilbert action for general relativity was first formulated purely in terms of the spacetime metric g μ ν . In the Palatini variational method one takes as independent field variables not only the ten components g μ ν but also the forty components of the affine connection Γ β μ α , assuming, a priori, no dependen
