Operator-valued tensors on manifolds
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper we try to extend geometric concepts in the context of operator valued tensors. To this end, we aim to replace the field of scalars $ mathbb{R} $ by self-adjoint elements of a commutative $ C^star $-algebra, and reach an appropriate generalization of geometrical concepts on manifolds. First, we put forward the concept of operator-valued tensors and extend semi-Riemannian metrics to operator valued metrics. Then, in this new geometry, some essential concepts of Riemannian geometry such as curvature tensor, Levi-Civita connection, Hodge star operator, exterior derivative, divergence,... will be considered.

EQUIVARIANT TENSORS ON POLAR MANIFOLDS Ricardo Mendes Wolfgang Ziller, Advisor This PhD dissertation has two parts, both dealing with extension questions for equivariant tensors on a polar G-manifold M with section Σ ⊂ M. Chapter 3 contains the first part, regarding the so-called smoothness conditions: If a tensor defined only along Σ is equivariant under the generalized Weyl group W (Σ), then ...

In this paper we develop a natural generalization of Schauder basis theory, we term operator-valued basis or simply ov-basis theory, using operator-algebraic methods. We prove several results for ov-basis concerning duality, orthogonality, biorthogonality and minimality. We prove that the operators of a dual ov-basis are continuous. We also dene the concepts of Bessel, Hilbert ov-basis and obta...
full textTrees and Tensors on Kähler Manifolds
We present an organized method to convert between partial derivatives of metrics (functions) and covariant derivatives of curvature tensors (functions) on Kähler manifolds. Basically it reduces the highly recursive computation in tensor calculus to the enumeration of certain trees with external legs.
full textKilling-Poisson tensors on Riemannian manifolds
We introduce a new class of Poisson structures on a Riemannian manifold. A Poisson structure in this class will be called a Killing-Poisson structure. The class of Killing-Poisson structures contains the class of symplectic structures, the class of Poisson structures studied in (Differential Geometry and its Applications, Vol. 20, Issue 3 (2004), 279–291) and the class of Poisson structures ind...
full textNonminimal Operator on Curved Manifolds
Asymptotic heat kernel expansion for nonminimal differential operators on curved manifolds in the presence of gauge fields is considered. The complete expressions for the fourth coefficient (E4) in the heat kernel expansion for such operators are presented for the first time. The expressions were computed for general case of manifolds of arbitrary dimension n and also for the most important cas...
