Vector algebra is a powerful and needful tool for Physics but unfortunately, due to lack of mathematical skills, it becomes misleading for first undergraduate courses of science and engineering studies. Standard vector identities are…

This note provides a short guide to dimensional analysis in Lorentzian and general relativity and in differential geometry. It tries to revive Dorgelo and Schouten's notion of 'intrinsic' or 'absolute' dimension of a tensorial quantity. The…

We introduce an inductive method for the study of the uniqueness of decompositions of tensors, by means of tensors of rank 1. The method is based on the geometric notion of weak defectivity. For three-dimensional tensors of type (a, b, c),…

It is shown that for any subspace $V\subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^{n\times\cdots\times n}$ of $d$-tensors, if $\dim(V) \geq tn^{d-1}$, then there is subspace $W\subseteq V$ of dimension at least $t/(dr) - 1$ whose nonzero elements all have…

Given a real representation of the Clifford algebra corresponding to $R^{p+q}$ with metric of signature $(p,q)$, we demonstrate the existence of two natural bilinear forms on the space of spinors. With the Clifford action of $k$-forms on…

The transverse traceless spin-two tensor harmonics on $S^3$ and $H^3$ may be denoted by $T^{(kl)}{}_{ab}$. The index $k$ labels the (degenerate) eigenvalues of the Laplacian $\square$ and $l$ the other indices. We compute the bitensor…

Tensor decompositions have become a central tool in data science, with applications in areas such as data analysis, signal processing, and machine learning. A key property of many tensor decompositions, such as the canonical polyadic…

A tensor space is a vector space equipped with a finite collection of multilinear forms. The length of a tensor space is its length as a representation of its symmetry group. Infinite dimension tensor spaces of finite length are special,…

We study in this article multiplicities of eigenvalues of tensors. There are two natural multiplicities associated to an eigenvalue $\lambda$ of a tensor: algebraic multiplicity $\operatorname{am}(\lambda)$ and geometric multiplicity…

In this work we consider the issue of localization of antisymmetric tensor fields of arbitrary rank in a D dimensional Space-time with a codimension two. A string-like defect is used to simulate the membrane. The localization of massless…

In this paper we propose a physical derivation of a 4d conjectural duality for $USp(2N)$ with an anti-symmetric rank-two tensor and fundamental flavors, in presence of a non-trivial superpotential. This duality has been conjectured as a…

With techniques borrowed from quantum information theory, we develop a method to systematically obtain operator inequalities and identities in several matrix variables. These take the form of trace polynomials: polynomial-like expressions…

It is well known that for a given Poisson structure one has infinitely many star products related through the Kontsevich gauge transformations. These gauge transformations have an infinite functional dimension (i.e., correspond to an…

Tensors are multidimensional analogs of matrices. In this paper, based on degree-theoretic ideas, we study homogeneous nonlinear complementarity problems induced by tensors. By specializing this to $Z$-tensors (which are tensors with…

To every $k$-dimensional modular invariant vector space we associate a modular form on $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $2k$. We explore number theoretic properties of this form and find a sufficient condition for its vanishing which yields…

Starting from basic identities of the group E8, we perform progressive reductions, namely decompositions with respect to the maximal and symmetric embeddings of E7xSU(2) and then of E6xU(1). This procedure provides a systematic approach to…

Given a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space we study the problem of characterizing the set $\mathcal D(T)$ of all possible diagonals of $T$. For compact operators $T$, we give a complete…

In this paper, we focus on a special class of symmetric tensors, which can be orthogonally diagonalizable, and investigate their Z-eigenpairs problem. We show that the eigenpairs can be uniformly expressed using several basic eigenpairs,…

We show that the splitting feature of the Einstein tensor, as the first term of the Lovelock tensor, into two parts, namely the Ricci tensor and the term proportional to the curvature scalar, with the trace relation between them is a common…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this master thesis, we classify multiplicity-free tensor products of simple modules for the groups $SL_2(k)$ and $SL_3(k)$. We also provide a classification for $SL_n(k)$…
