Comment on the Surface Exponential for Tensor Fields

Abstract

Starting from essentially commutative exponential map E(BI)E(B|I) for generic tensor-valued 2-forms BB, introduced in \cite{Akh} as direct generalization of the ordinary non-commutative PP-exponent for 1-forms with values in matrices (i.e. in tensors of rank 2), we suggest a non-trivial but multi-parametric exponential E(BItγ){\cal E}(B|I|t_\gamma), which can serve as an interesting multi-directional evolution operator in the case of higher ranks. To emphasize the most important aspects of the story, construction is restricted to backgrounds IijkI_{ijk}, associated with the structure constants of {\it commutative} associative algebras, what makes it unsensitive to topology of the 2d surface. Boundary effects are also eliminated (straightfoward generalization is needed to incorporate them).
