Can the bending of light because of gravity be derived from the Maxwell equations written in curved space time, i.e.,
[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{-g}}\partial_\mu(\sqrt{-g}F^{\mu\nu}})=0 [/tex]
In all the examples the bending of light is treated as a massless particle traveling on a light-like geodesic (if I understand the examples correctly) with no reference to the electromagnetic field at all.
