A real symmetric tensor is orthogonally decomposable (or odeco) if it can be written as a linear combination of symmetric powers of $n$ vectors which form an orthonormal basis of $\mathbb R^n$. Motivated by the spectral theorem for real…
We sketch the construction of a quantum model of 3 dimensional de Sitter space, based on the Covariant Entropy Principle and the observation that semi-classical physics suggests the possibility of a consistent theory of a finite number of…
Quasisymmetry builds a third invariant for charged-particle motion besides energy and magnetic moment. We address quasisymmetry at the level of approximate symmetries of first-order guiding-centre motion. We find that the conditions to…
Given a $d\times d$ quasiconvex quadratic form, $d\geq 3,$ we prove that if the determinant of its acoustic tensor is an irreducible extremal polynomial that is not identically zero, then the form itself is an extremal quasiconvex quadratic…
In this article, we present various new results on Cauchy tensors and Hankel tensors. { We first introduce the concept of generalized Cauchy tensors which extends Cauchy tensors in the current literature, and provide several conditions…
We generalize the concept of the symmetric hyperdeterminants for symmetric tensors to the E-determinants for general tensors. We show that the E-determinant inherits many properties of the determinant of a matrix. These properties include:…
In 1995, Reznick showed an important variant of the obvious fact that any positive semidefinite (real) quadratic form is a sum of squares of linear forms: If a form (of arbitrary even degree) is positive definite then it becomes a sum of…
We introduce the idea of a coherent adequate set of models, which can be used as side conditions in forcing. As an application we define a forcing poset which adds a square sequence on $\omega_2$ using finite conditions.
We study SOS properties of biquadratic forms. For the class of partially symmetric biquadratic forms, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for positive semi-definiteness and prove that every PSD partially symmetric biquadratic…
A sign pattern is a matrix that has entries from the set $\{+,-,0\}$. An $n\times n$ sign pattern $\mathcal{P}$ is called consistent if every real matrix in its qualitative class has exactly $k$ real eigenvalues and $n-k$ nonreal…
A countable dense set of directions is sufficient for Steiner symmetrization, but the order of directions matters.
In this paper a theorem is derived in order to provide a wide sufficient condition for an orthogonally transitive cylindrical spacetime to be singularity-free. The applicability of the theorem is tested on examples provided by the…
The object of this paper is to obtain the concircular curvature tensor of the semi symmetric non-metric connection on the Weyl manifold and to give a necessary and sufficient condition for a semi symmetric non-metric connection to be…
Third order three-dimensional symmetric and traceless tensors play an important role in physics and tensor representation theory. A minimal integrity basis of a third order three-dimensional symmetric and traceless tensor has four…
We prove that multilinear (tensor) analogues of many efficiently computable problems in numerical linear algebra are NP-hard. Our list here includes: determining the feasibility of a system of bilinear equations, deciding whether a 3-tensor…
We present a comprehensive construction of scalar, vector and tensor harmonics on maximally symmetric three-dimensional spaces. Our formalism relies on the introduction of spin-weighted spherical harmonics and a generalized helicity basis…
A semiring can be ``completed'' (i.e., embedded into a semiring in which all infinite sums are defined and satisfy some reasonable properties) iff this semiring can be naturally partially ordered. This construction is ``natural'' (a left…
The M-matrix is an important concept in matrix theory, and has many applications. Recently, this concept has been extended to higher order tensors [18]. In this paper, we establish some important properties of M-tensors and nonsingular…
We introduce a forcing technique to construct three-dimensional arrays of generic extensions through FS (finite support) iterations of ccc posets, which we refer to as 3D-coherent systems. We use them to produce models of new constellations…
Third-order tensors are widely used as a mathematical tool for modeling physical properties of media in solid state physics. In most cases, they arise as constitutive tensors of proportionality between basic physics quantities. The…
