Holographic tensor networks model AdS/CFT, but so far they have been limited by involving only systems that are very different from gravity. Unfortunately, we cannot straightforwardly discretize gravity to incorporate it, because that would…

Grassmann tensors arise from classical problems of scene reconstruction in computer vision. In particular, bifocal Grassmann tensors, related to a pair of projections from a projective space onto view-spaces of varying dimensions,…

A category of Brauer diagrams, analogous to Turaev's tangle category, is introduced, and a presentation of the category is given; specifically, we prove that seven relations among its four generating homomorphisms suffice to deduce all…

The aim of the current paper is to study the multiscalar-tensor theories of gravity without derivative couplings. We construct a few basic objects that are invariant under a Weyl rescaling of the metric and transform covariantly when the…

Here we continue to list the differential operators invariant with respect to the 15 exceptional simple Lie superalgebras of polynomial vector fields. A part of the list (for operators acting on tensors with finite dimensional fibers) was…

Let ${\cal F}_\lambda$ be the space of tensor densities on ${\bf R}^n$ of degree $\lambda$ (or, equivalently, of conformal densities of degree $-\lambda{}n$) considered as a module over the Lie algebra $so(p+1,q+1)$. We classify…

Let K be the product O(n_1) x O(n_2) x ... x O(n_r) of orthogonal groups. Let V the r-fold tensor product of defining representations of each orthogonal factor. We compute a stable formula for the dimension of the K-invariant algebra of…

Closed formulas for the multilinear rank of trifocal Grassmann tensors are obtained. An alternative process to the standard HOSVD is introduced for the computation of the core of trifocal Grassmann tensors. Both of these results are…

We outline an algorithm for construction of functional bases of absolute invariants under the rotation group for sets of rank 2 tensors and vectors in the Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. We will use our earlier results for symmetric…

The invariant projections of the energy-momentum tensors of Lagrangian densities for tensor fields over differentiable manifolds with contravariant and covariant affine connections and metrics [$(\bar{L}_n,g)$-spaces] are found by the use…

The infinitesimal counterpart of a Lie groupoid is its Lie algebroid. As a vector bundle, it is given by the source vertical tangent bundle restricted to the identity bisection. Its sections can be identified with the invariant vector…

We construct a simple topological invariant of certain 3-manifolds, including quotients of the 3-sphere by finite groups, based on the fact that the tangent bundle of an orientable 3-manifold is trivialisable. This invariant is strong…

In this part of the series I show how five-tensors can be used for describing in a coordinate-independent way finite and infinitesimal Poincare transformations in flat space-time. As an illustration, I reformulate the classical mechanics of…

The recent interest in modified theories of gravity, involving some type of non-minimal coupling to the Ricci scalar, and the calculation of cosmological observables in the Einstein or the Jordan frame, motivate the formulation of these…

We study tensors on Lie groupoids suitably compatible with the groupoid structure, called {\em multiplicative}. Our main result gives a complete description of these objects only in terms of infinitesimal data. Special cases include the…

For a point $p$ in a smooth real hypersurface $M\subset\C^n$, where the Levi form has the nontrivial kernel $K^{10}_p$, we introduce an invariant cubic tensor $\tau^3_p \colon \C T_p \times K^{10}_p \times \overline{K^{10}_p} \to \C\otimes…

This is the sixth, concluding part of a series of papers the first five of which have been submitted to the present archive in mid 1998 and published as INR preprints in 1999. The present paper was printed as an INR preprint, too, but for…
