How can we prove that in 2D the Ricci scalar is proportional to the Ricci tensor? I started with the second Bianchi identity, set 2 axes equal - and it led me to the fact that in 2D the covariant derivative of the Ricci tensor is zero. However, I cannot prove that the Ricci tensor is proportional to the Ricci scalar from it.
