and (1959) -[12] Parentheses containing two indices, denote symmetrization, e.g. $\psi_{\alpha(\beta;\gamma)} = \psi_{\alpha\beta;\gamma} + \psi_{\alpha\gamma;\beta)}$. The traces of tensor are written by suppresing the repeated indices e.g. $\psi_{\sigma}^{\sigma} = \psi$. Finally $\square$ is the d'Alembertian operator i.e. $\square \psi_{\alpha\beta} = \psi_{\alpha\beta;\lambda^{\lambda}}$.

(1964) -[15] As shown in Ref. [2] an atom put in the gravitational field, undergoes, in the linear approximation, a deformation given by a tensor $f\psi_{\alpha\beta}$. It is the same deformation to which real rods and clocks (made out of atoms) are subjected, so that a real observer does not measure a pseudo-Euclidean but a Riemannian space-time. Taking into account that the matter is made out of atoms, all the objects are deformed by gravity in the unrenormalized picture. Hence, in such space-time a variation $\delta\psi_{\alpha\beta}$ causes an increase of the deformation tensor equal to $f\delta\psi_{\alpha\beta}$.
