Metric Tensor Vs. Metric Extensor

V. V. Fernández, A. M. Moya, Waldyr A. Rodrigues

摘要:

本文给出了有限维实向量空间度量概念的\emph{tensors}与\emph{extensors}的比较。度量扩张子的一个很好的性质是它们有逆,逆本身也是度量扩张子。度量张量不具有这种性质,因为张量\emph{not}有逆。我们将度量张量的行列式定义与度量张量在给定向量基上对应矩阵的经典行列式联系起来。以前对这些概念的认定是模棱两可的。使用度量扩张允许复杂的计算,而无需引入矩阵表示。

英文摘要:

In this paper we give a comparison between the formulation of the concept of metric for a real vector space of finite dimension in terms of \emph{tensors} and \emph{extensors}. A nice property of metric extensors is that they have inverses which are also themselves metric extensors. This property is not shared by metric tensors because tensors do \emph{not} have inverses. We relate the definition of determinant of a metric extensor with the classical determinant of the corresponding matrix associated to the metric tensor in a given vector basis. Previous identifications of these concepts are equivocated. The use of metric extensor permits sophisticated calculations without the introduction of matrix representations.
