چکیده
We seek an analogy of the mathematical form of the alternative form of Einstein's field equations for Lovelock's field equations. We find that the price for this analogy is to accept the existence of the trace anomaly of the energy-momentum tensor even in classical treatments. As an example, we take this analogy to any generic second order Lagrangian and exactly derive the trace anomaly relation suggested by Duff. This indicates that an intrinsic reason for the existence of such a relation should perhaps be, classically, somehow related to the covariance of the form of Einstein's equations.

The inclusion of cosmological constant into Einstein field equation was done primarily by Einstein himself with a view to model a static universe. Later he discarded the cosmological constant (and commented [1] “...... the biggest blunder of my life”), on the basis of the observational data supporting the expansion of the universe. Subsequently, it was reintroduced and then omitted to match wit...
