I mean, what's "general relativity but without the cosmological constant term" (##G_{\mu \nu}=\kappa T_{\mu \nu}##) called?

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on Einstein's General Relativity without the cosmological constant, specifically addressing the Einstein Field Equation represented as ##G_{\mu \nu}=\kappa T_{\mu \nu}##. By setting the cosmological constant ##\Lambda=0##, the term can either be eliminated or integrated into the stress-energy tensor. This simplification leads to a clearer understanding of gravitational interactions in a vacuum without the influence of dark energy.
