Topology and Physics 2019 - Lecture 2
Topology and Physics 2019 - lecture 2 Marcel Vonk February 12, 2019 2.1 Maxwell theory in differential form notation Maxwell's theory of electrodynamics is a great example of the usefulness of differential forms. A nice reference on this topic, though somewhat outdated when it comes to notation, is [1]. For notational simplicity, we will work in units where the speed of light, the vacuum permittivity and the vacuum permeability are all equal to 1: c = 0 = µ0 = 1. 2.1.1 The dual field strength In three dimensional space, Maxwell's electrodynamics describes the physics of the electric and magnetic fields E~ and B~ . These are three-dimensional vector fields, but the beauty of the theory becomes much more obvious if we (a) use a four-dimensional relativistic formulation, and (b) write it in terms of differential forms. For example, let us look at Maxwells two source-free, homogeneous equations: r · B = 0;@tB + r × E = 0: (2.1) That these equations have a relativistic flavor becomes clear if we write them out in com- ponents and organize the terms somewhat suggestively: x y z 0 + @xB + @yB + @zB = 0 x z y −@tB + 0 − @yE + @zE = 0 (2.2) y z x −@tB + @xE + 0 − @zE = 0 z y x −@tB − @xE + @yE + 0 = 0 Note that we also multiplied the last three equations by −1 to clarify the structure. All in all, we see that we have four equations (one for each space-time coordinate) which each contain terms in which the four coordinate derivatives act. Therefore, we may be tempted to write our set of equations in more \relativistic" notation as ^µν @µF = 0 (2.3) 1 with F^µν the coordinates of an antisymmetric two-tensor (i. -

Abstract Tensor Systems and Diagrammatic Representations
Abstract tensor systems and diagrammatic representations J¯anisLazovskis September 28, 2012 Abstract The diagrammatic tensor calculus used by Roger Penrose (most notably in [7]) is introduced without a solid mathematical grounding. We will attempt to derive the tools of such a system, but in a broader setting. We show that Penrose's work comes from the diagrammisation of the symmetric algebra. Lie algebra representations and their extensions to knot theory are also discussed.

Summary 6 / 78 We now want to generalise this idea to enable us to find the derivative of F(X), in the A ‘direction’ – where X is a general mixed grade multivector (so F(X) is a general multivector valued function of X). Let us use ∗ to denote taking the scalar part, ie P ∗ Q ≡ hPQi. Then, provided A has same grades as X, it makes sense to define: F(X + tA) − F(X) A ∗ ¶XF(X) = lim t!0 t The Multivector Derivative Recall our definition of the directional derivative in the a direction F(x + ea) − F(x) a·r F(x) = lim e!0 e 7 / 78 Let us use ∗ to denote taking the scalar part, ie P ∗ Q ≡ hPQi. -
Tensor Products
Tensor products Joel Kamnitzer April 5, 2011 1 The definition Let V, W, X be three vector spaces. A bilinear map from V × W to X is a function H : V × W → X such that H(av1 + v2, w) = aH(v1, w) + H(v2, w) for v1,v2 ∈ V, w ∈ W, a ∈ F H(v, aw1 + w2) = aH(v, w1) + H(v, w2) for v ∈ V, w1, w2 ∈ W, a ∈ F Let V and W be vector spaces. A tensor product of V and W is a vector space V ⊗ W along with a bilinear map φ : V × W → V ⊗ W , such that for every vector space X and every bilinear map H : V × W → X, there exists a unique linear map T : V ⊗ W → X such that H = T ◦ φ. In other words, giving a linear map from V ⊗ W to X is the same thing as giving a bilinear map from V × W to X. If V ⊗ W is a tensor product, then we write v ⊗ w := φ(v ⊗ w). Note that there are two pieces of data in a tensor product: a vector space V ⊗ W and a bilinear map φ : V × W → V ⊗ W . Here are the main results about tensor products summarized in one theorem. Theorem 1.1. (i) Any two tensor products of V, W are isomorphic. (ii) V, W has a tensor product. (iii) If v1,...,vn is a basis for V and w1,...,wm is a basis for W , then {vi ⊗ wj }1≤i≤n,1≤j≤m is a basis for V ⊗ W . -
Tensor Manipulation in GPL Maxima
Tensor Manipulation in GPL Maxima Viktor Toth http://www.vttoth.com/ February 1, 2008 Abstract GPL Maxima is an open-source computer algebra system based on DOE-MACSYMA. GPL Maxima included two tensor manipulation packages from DOE-MACSYMA, but these were in various states of disrepair. One of the two packages, CTENSOR, implemented component-based tensor manipulation; the other, ITENSOR, treated tensor symbols as opaque, manipulating them based on their index properties. The present paper describes the state in which these packages were found, the steps that were needed to make the packages fully functional again, and the new functionality that was implemented to make them more versatile. A third package, ATENSOR, was also implemented; fully compatible with the identically named package in the commercial version of MACSYMA, ATENSOR implements abstract tensor algebras. 1 Introduction GPL Maxima (GPL stands for the GNU Public License, the most widely used open source license construct) is the descendant of one of the world’s first comprehensive computer algebra systems (CAS), DOE-MACSYMA, developed by the United States Department of Energy in the 1960s and the 1970s. It is currently maintained by 18 volunteer developers, and can be obtained in source or object code form from http://maxima.sourceforge.net/. Like other computer algebra systems, Maxima has tensor manipulation capability. This capability was developed in the late 1970s. Documentation is scarce regarding these packages’ origins, but a select collection of e-mail messages by various authors survives, dating back to 1979-1982, when these packages were actively maintained at M.I.T. When this author first came across GPL Maxima, the tensor packages were effectively non-functional. -

A Clifford Dyadic Superfield from Bilateral Interactions of Geometric Multispin Dirac Theory
A CLIFFORD DYADIC SUPERFIELD FROM BILATERAL INTERACTIONS OF GEOMETRIC MULTISPIN DIRAC THEORY WILLIAM M. PEZZAGLIA JR. Department of Physia, Santa Clam University Santa Clam, CA 95053, U.S.A., [email protected] and ALFRED W. DIFFER Department of Phyaia, American River College Sacramento, CA 958i1, U.S.A. (Received: November 5, 1993) Abstract. Multivector quantum mechanics utilizes wavefunctions which a.re Clifford ag gregates (e.g. sum of scalar, vector, bivector). This is equivalent to multispinors con structed of Dirac matrices, with the representation independent form of the generators geometrically interpreted as the basis vectors of spacetime. Multiple generations of par ticles appear as left ideals of the algebra, coupled only by now-allowed right-side applied (dextral) operations. A generalized bilateral (two-sided operation) coupling is propoeed which includes the above mentioned dextrad field, and the spin-gauge interaction as partic ular cases. This leads to a new principle of poly-dimensional covariance, in which physical laws are invariant under the reshuffling of coordinate geometry. Such a multigeometric su perfield equation is proposed, whi~h is sourced by a bilateral current. In order to express the superfield in representation and coordinate free form, we introduce Eddington E-F double-frame numbers. Symmetric tensors can now be represented as 4D "dyads", which actually are elements of a global SD Clifford algebra.. As a restricted example, the dyadic field created by the Greider-Ross multivector current (of a Dirac electron) describes both electromagnetic and Morris-Greider gravitational interactions. Key words: spin-gauge, multivector, clifford, dyadic 1. Introduction Multi vector physics is a grand scheme in which we attempt to describe all ba sic physical structure and phenomena by a single geometrically interpretable Algebra. -
On Manifolds of Tensors of Fixed Tt-Rank
ON MANIFOLDS OF TENSORS OF FIXED TT-RANK SEBASTIAN HOLTZ, THORSTEN ROHWEDDER, AND REINHOLD SCHNEIDER Abstract. Recently, the format of TT tensors [19, 38, 34, 39] has turned out to be a promising new format for the approximation of solutions of high dimensional problems. In this paper, we prove some new results for the TT representation of a tensor U ∈ Rn1×...×nd and for the manifold of tensors of TT-rank r. As a first result, we prove that the TT (or compression) ranks ri of a tensor U are unique and equal to the respective seperation ranks of U if the components of the TT decomposition are required to fulfil a certain maximal rank condition. We then show that d the set T of TT tensors of fixed rank r forms an embedded manifold in Rn , therefore preserving the essential theoretical properties of the Tucker format, but often showing an improved scaling behaviour. Extending a similar approach for matrices [7], we introduce certain gauge conditions to obtain a unique representation of the tangent space TU T of T and deduce a local parametrization of the TT manifold. The parametrisation of TU T is often crucial for an algorithmic treatment of high-dimensional time-dependent PDEs and minimisation problems [33]. We conclude with remarks on those applications and present some numerical examples. 1. Introduction The treatment of high-dimensional problems, typically of problems involving quantities from Rd for larger dimensions d, is still a challenging task for numerical approxima- tion. This is owed to the principal problem that classical approaches for their treatment normally scale exponentially in the dimension d in both needed storage and computa- tional time and thus quickly become computationally infeasable for sensible discretiza- tions of problems of interest. -

Math 217: Multilinearity of Determinants Professor Karen Smith (c)2015 UM Math Dept licensed under a Creative Commons By-NC-SA 4.0 International License. A. Let V −!T V be a linear transformation where V has dimension n. 1. What is meant by the determinant of T ? Why is this well-defined? Solution note: The determinant of T is the determinant of the B-matrix of T , for any basis B of V . Since all B-matrices of T are similar, and similar matrices have the same determinant, this is well-defined—it doesn't depend on which basis we pick. 2. Define the rank of T . Solution note: The rank of T is the dimension of the image. 3. Explain why T is an isomorphism if and only if det T is not zero. Solution note: T is an isomorphism if and only if [T ]B is invertible (for any choice of basis B), which happens if and only if det T 6= 0. 3 4. Now let V = R and let T be rotation around the axis L (a line through the origin) by an 21 0 0 3 3 angle θ. Find a basis for R in which the matrix of ρ is 40 cosθ −sinθ5 : Use this to 0 sinθ cosθ compute the determinant of T . Is T othogonal? Solution note: Let v be any vector spanning L and let u1; u2 be an orthonormal basis ? for V = L . Rotation fixes ~v, which means the B-matrix in the basis (v; u1; u2) has 213 first column 405.
