چکیده
Abstract 3D symmetric tensor fields have a wide range of applications in medicine, science, and engineering. The topology can provide key insight into their structures. In this paper we study the number possible topological bifurcations linear fields. Using linearity/planarity classification wedge/trisector classification, explore four types that change connectivity degenerate curves as well location transition points on these curves. This leads to among nine scenarios

The Topology of Symmetric, Second-Order 3D Tensor Fields
We study the topology of symmetric, second-order tensor elds. The results of this study can be readily extended to include general tensor elds through linear combination of symmetric tensor elds and vector elds. The goal is to represent their complex structure by a simple set of carefully chosen points, lines and surfaces analogous to approaches in vector eld topology. We extract topological sk...
متن کاملSymmetric curvature tensor
Recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. Using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. This concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and Laplacian of vector fields. This concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discu...
متن کاملConformally Covariant Differential Operators: Symmetric Tensor Fields
We extend previous work on conformally covariant differential operators to consider the case of second order operators acting on symmetric traceless tensor fields. The corresponding flat space Green function is explicitly constructed and shown to be in accord with the requirements of conformal invariance. PACS: 03.70.+k; 11.10.Kk; 11.25.Hf; 11.30.Ly
متن کاملTopological Features in 2D Symmetric Higher-Order Tensor Fields
The topological structure of scalar, vector, and second-order tensor fields provides an important mathematical basis for data analysis and visualization. In this paper, we extend this framework towards higher-order tensors. First, we establish formal uniqueness properties for a geometrically constrained tensor decomposition. This allows us to define and visualize topological structures in symme...
