On a Riemannian or a semi-Riemannian manifold, the metric determines invariants like the Levi-Civita connection and the Riemann curvature. If the metric becomes degenerate (as in singular semi-Riemannian geometry), these constructions no…
This article presents a natural extension of the tensor algebra. In addition to "left multiplications" by vectors, we can consider "derivations" by covectors as basic operators on this extended algebra. These two types of operators satisfy…
A notion of super operator system is defined which generalizes the usual notion of operator systems to include certain unital involutive operator spaces which cannot be represented completely isometric as a concrete operator system on some…
We introduce and study the definition, main properties and applications of iterated twisted tensor products of algebras, motivated by the problem of defining a suitable representative for the product of spaces in noncommutative geometry. We…
For an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$ and a family of inner products in a $\mathbb{K}$-vector space $V$ of arbitrary dimension, we study necessary and sufficient conditions in order to have an orthogonal basis relative to all the inner…
Semi-inner-products in the sense of Lumer are extended to convex functionals. This yields a Hilbert-space like structure to convex functionals in Banach spaces. In particular, a general expression for semi-inner-products with respect to one…
Two successive generalizations of the usual tensor products are given. One can be constructed for arbitrary binary operations, and not only for semigroups, groups or vector spaces. The second one, still more general, is constructed for…
Products and coproducts may be recognized as morphisms in a monoidal tensor category of vector spaces. To gain invariant data of these morphisms, we can use singular value decomposition which attaches singular values, ie generalized…
We study geometric properties of varieties associated with invariant subspaces of nilpotent operators. There are reductive algebraic groups acting on these varieties. We give dimensions of orbits of these actions. Moreover, a combinatorial…
The theory of spaces with different (not only by sign) contravariant and covariant affine connections and metrics [}$(\bar{L}_n,g)$\QTR{it}{-spaces] is worked out within the framework of the tensor analysis over differentiable manifolds and…
We give two results concerning the construction of modular invariant partition functions for conformal field theories constructed by tensoring together other conformal field theories. First we show how the possible modular invariants for…
Principal Component Analysis can be performed over small domains of an embedded Riemannian manifold in order to relate the covariance analysis of the underlying point set with the local extrinsic and intrinsic curvature. We show that the…
Tensor product of irreducible modules of highest weight over a semi-simple quantum group is semi-simple if and only if a natural contravariant form is non-degenerate when restricted to the span of singular vectors. We express this…
In this paper we study finite dimensional algebras, in particular finite semifields, through their correspondence with nonsingular threefold tensors. We introduce a alternative embedding of the tensor product space into a projective space.…
The Killing tensor equation is a first order differential equation on symmetric covariant tensors that generalises to higher rank the usual Killing vector equation on Riemannian manifolds. We view this more generally as an equation on any…
This is a note for constructing fundamental invariants and computing the Hilbert series of the invariant subalgebras of tensor products of polynomial rings under the action by a direct product of symmetric groups. Our computation relies on…
The Moore-Penrose algorithm provides a generalized notion of an inverse, applicable to degenerate matrices. In this paper, we introduce a covariant extension of the Moore-Penrose method that permits to deal with general relativity involving…
The defining conditions for the irreducible tensor operators associated with the unitary irreducible corepresentions of compact quantum group algebras are deduced first in both the right and left regular coaction formalisms. In each case it…
Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…
