For the multiple differential algebra of iterated differential forms (see math.DG/0605113 and math.DG/0609287) on a diffiety (O,C) an analogue of C-spectral sequence is constructed. The first term of it is naturally interpreted as the…
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…
We introduce Manifold tensor categories, which make precise the notion of a tensor category with a manifold of simple objects. A basic example is the category of vector spaces graded by a Lie group. Unlike classic tensor category theory,…
The development of compositional distributional models of semantics reconciling the empirical aspects of distributional semantics with the compositional aspects of formal semantics is a popular topic in the contemporary literature. This…
We study natural differential operators transforming two tensor fields into a tensor field. First, it is proved that all bilinear operators are of order one, and then we give the full classification of such operators in several concrete…
Tensor fields depending on other tensor fields are considered. The concept of extended tensor fields is introduced and the theory of differentiation for such fields is developed.
The notion of a tensor captures three great ideas: equivariance, multilinearity, separability. But trying to be three things at once makes the notion difficult to understand. We will explain tensors in an accessible and elementary way…
We introduce and extend the outer product and contractive product of tensors and matrices, and present some identities in terms of these products. We offer tensor expressions of derivatives of tensors, focus on the tensor forms of…
Classical tensors, the familiar mathematical objects denoted by symbols such as $t_{i}$, $t^{ij}$ and $t_{k}^{ij}$, are usually interpreted either as 'coordinatizable objects' with coordinates changing in a specific way under a change of…
In this paper, we extend some classes of structured matrices to higher order tensors. We discuss their relationships with positive semi-definite tensors and some other structured tensors. We show that every principal sub-tensor of such a…
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…
Basic elements of integral calculus over algebras of iterated differential forms, are presented. In particular, defining complexes for modules of integral forms are described and the corresponding berezinians and complexes of integral forms…
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…
We develop some foundations of commutative algebra, with a view towards algebraic geometry, in symmetric tensor categories. Most results establish analogues of classical theorems, in tensor categories which admit a tensor functor to some…
A differential calculus on an associative algebra A is an algebraic analogue of the calculus of differential forms on a smooth manifold. It supplies A with a structure on which dynamics and field theory can be formulated to some extent in…
The space of linear differential operators on a smooth manifold $M$ has a natural one-parameter family of $Diff(M)$ (and $Vect(M)$)-module structures, defined by their action on the space of tensor-densities. It is shown that, in the case…
Tensors, or multi-linear forms, are important objects in a variety of areas from analytics, to combinatorics, to computational complexity theory. Notions of tensor rank aim to quantify the "complexity" of these forms, and are thus also…
We construct a braided structure on the algebra of K\"ahler differential forms of a commutative algebra twisted by an endomorphism. This generalises the construction done in M. Karoubi, Quantum Methods in Algebraic Topology, see…
We define tensors, corresponding to cubic polynomials, which have the same exponent $\omega$ as the matrix multiplication tensor. In particular, we study the symmetrized matrix multiplication tensor $sM_n$ defined on an $n\times n$ matrix…
Extending the construction of the (intrinsically defined) full algebra of scalar valued Colombeau functions on a smooth manifold M (Grosser et al., Adv. Math. 166 (2002), 179-206) we present a suitable basic space for eventually obtaining…
