We generalize reduction theorems for classical connections to operators with values in $k$-th order natural bundles. Using the first reduction theorem in order two we classify all (0,2)-tensor fields on the cotangent bundle of a manifold…
In this paper, we study translation surfaces in the Euclidean space endowed with a canonical semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We completely classify the translation surfaces of constant sectional curvature with respect to this…
In this article, we define the matricization of a tensor and we present some properties of the matricization. After that, we define the determinant of a tensor and we present some properties of the determinant. We define the covariance…
We study and classify almost all quantum SL(3,C)'s whose representation theory is ``similar'' to that of the (ordinary) group SL(3,C). Only one case, related to smooth elliptic curves, could not be treated completely.
In this note, we reformulate the invariant $\Delta (M, \omega)$ that we defined before, and show its relation with Reidemeister torsion. We calculate $\Delta (M, \omega)$ when the $3$-manifolds are lens spaces, and discuss the…
A classification of all continuous GL(n) equivariant Minkowski valuations on convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is established. Together with recent results of F.E. Schuster and the author, this article therefore completes the description of…
We build the general conformally invariant linear wave operator for a free, symmetric, second-rank tensor field in a d-dimensional ($d\geqslant 2$) metric manifold, and explicit the special case of maximally symmetric spaces. Under the…
The spaces of invariants of tensor powers of the defining representation of Sp(2n) are provided with the bases parametrized by symplectic wave graphs introduced here especially for this purpose. The proof utilizes a game similar to Tetris,…
M. Embry and A. Lambert initiated the study of a weighted translation semigroup $\{S_t\}$ in ${\cal B}(L^2({\mathbb R_+})),$ with a view to explore a continuous analogue of a weighted shift operator. We continued the work, characterized…
While every matrix admits a singular value decomposition, in which the terms are pairwise orthogonal in a strong sense, higher-order tensors typically do not admit such an orthogonal decomposition. Those that do have attracted attention…
For stationary vacuum spacetimes the Bianchi identities of the second kind equate the Simon tensor to the Simon-Mars tensor, the latter having a clear geometrical interpretation. The equivalence of these two tensors is broken in the…
The purpose of this article is to give a complete and general answer to the recurrent problem in continuum mechanics of the determination of the number and the type of symmetry classes of an even-order tensor space. This kind of…
Lie symmetries of K(m,n) equations with time-dependent coefficients are classified. Group classification is presented up to widest possible equivalence groups, the usual equivalence group of the whole class for the general case and…
This paper investigates the use of automatic continuity techniques in the context of valuations on convex bodies. We first provide an automatic continuity theorem for valuations restricted to parallelotopes with respect to a fixed basis.…
The Ptolemy variety for SL(2,C) is an invariant of a topological ideal triangulation of a compact 3-manifold M. It is closely related to Thurston's gluing equation variety. The Ptolemy variety maps naturally to the set of conjugacy classes…
Let X be a nonsingular simply connected projective variety of dimension m, E a rank n vector bundle on X, and L a line bundle on X. Suppose that $S^2(E^{*}) \otimes L$ is an ample vector bundle and that there is a constant even rank $r \ge…
In this paper we study multivariate polynomial functions in complex variables and the corresponding associated symmetric tensor representations. The focus is on finding conditions under which such complex polynomials/tensors always take…
In recent papers [1-3], we have discussed matter symmetries of non-static spherically symmetric spacetimes, static plane symmetric spacetimes and cylindrically symmetric static spacetimes. These have been classified for both cases when the…
Comon's conjecture on the equality of the rank and the symmetric rank of a symmetric tensor, and Strassen's conjecture on the additivity of the rank of tensors are two of the most challenging and guiding problems in the area of tensor…
The class of MB(MB0)-tensors, which is a generation of B(B0)-tensors and quasi-double B(B0)-tensors, is proposed. And we prove that an even order symmetric MB(MB0)-tensor is positive (semi-)definite. This provides a positive answer for the…
