Tensor tutorial• What is a tensor?• What are tensors good for/examples?• Vector spaces, linear mappings• Change of basis• Dual vectors, dual space• The metric/scalar product, (& the determinant)• Tensors• Examples • Differentiation

What is a tensor?What is a vector?What is a linear mapping?

(Or rather, how doyou view these?)

Several opinions/viewpoints. My opinion: A mapping, a geometric object. Not a bunch of numbers.

N.B. notation tensors at a point ~ tensor fields vector space, affine space, point space

What are they good for?Tensors describe physical properties of/in mechanics (stress tensor, strain tensor) vector calculus (vector fields) medicin (wait and see...) electromagnetism (Maxwell tensor, EMfield) relativity (curvature of spacetime) ...

What is a vector?Example: a vector in the plane (with origin). Is it a, b or c?

(My choice is c.)

What about a)?

Vector spaces (over R)

A picture

(What is this box for?)

• The elements are vectors• No basis: no coordinates• Beware: Rn is special

(why?)

N.B.vector space ~ affine space ~ point space

Notation, a remark

An example

Linear mappings

The matrix of a mapping (given a basis)V W

Change of basis?

v1 x1v1

What happens to the coordinates of u?

What happens to the matrix ?

Gradient & scalar product as a mapping

The dual space

Ex. condensator:Potential V1

Potential V0Origin

How do we draw dual vectors?

Do you see that

An observation

The dual basis (cf. reciprocal basis)

(dual)

(reciprocal)

The dimension of V*

Coordinates, example

What happens to the coordinates of ω?

The metric, scalar productu v

An observation

The components of g (what basis?)

The components of g (what basis?) II

Components of g, III

Another example

Another example II

But then....

Drawing the metric g

g(u, ).

One definition of a tensor

Remember our list:• Tensors describe physical properties of/in• mechanics (stress tensor, strain tensor)• vector calculus (vector fields)• medicin (wait and see...)• electromagnetism (Maxwell tensor, EM

field)• relativity (curvature of spacetime)• ....

Some remarks• Have not talked so much of the basis • More can be said about notation• Tensors a point > tensor fields• Transformation properties of components

will follow• Differentiation of tensor fields, in particular

covariant derivative

A word on covariant derivative

A covector. Components.

Covariant derivative

Covariant derivative,II

That’sall fornow.
