Abstract The Bakry-Émery Ricci tensor gives an analogue of the Ricci tensor for a Riemannian manifold with a smooth function. This notion motivates a new version of Einstein’s field equation in which the mass becomes part of geometry. This new field equation is purely geometric and is obtained from an action principle which is formed naturally by the scalar curvature associated with the Bakry-Émery Ricci tensor.
