Comment on the Surface Exponential for Tensor Fields
Abstract
Starting from essentially commutative exponential map for generic tensor-valued 2-forms , introduced in \cite{Akh} as direct generalization of the ordinary non-commutative -exponent for 1-forms with values in matrices (i.e. in tensors of rank 2), we suggest a non-trivial but multi-parametric exponential , 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 , 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).
