Abstract

In this letter, focusing in 44-dimensions, we extend our previous results of solving linear tensor equations. In particular, we consider a 3030 parameter linear tensor equation for the unknown tensor components NαμνN_{\alpha\mu\nu} in terms of the known (sources) components BαμνB_{\alpha\mu\nu}. Our extension now consists in including also the parity even linear terms in NαμνN_{\alpha\mu\nu} (and the associated traces) formed by contracting the latter with the 44-dimensional Levi-Civita pseudo-tensor. Assuming a generic non-degeneracy condition and following a step by step procedure we show how one can solve explicitly for the unknown tensor field components NαμνN_{\alpha\mu\nu} and consequently derive its unique and exact solution in terms of the components BαμνB_{\alpha\mu\nu}.
