Abstract

We present a grapical way to describe invariants and covariants in the (4 dim) general relativity. This makes us free from the complexity of suffixes . Two new off-shell relations between (mass)6\ast\ast 6\ invariants are obtained. These are important for 2-loop off-shell calculation in the perturbative quantum gravity. We list up all independent invarians with dimensions of (mass)4\ast\ast 4\ and (mass)6\ast\ast 6. Furthermore the explicit form of 6 dim Gauss-Bonnet identity is obtained.
