A Note on Segre Types of Second Order Symmetric Tensors in 5-D Brane-world Cosmology
Recent developments in string theory suggest that there might exist extra spatial dimensions, which are not small nor compact. The framework of most brane cosmological models is that in which the matter fields are confined on a brane-world embedded in five dimensions (the bulk). Motivated by this we reexamine the classification of the second order symmetric tensors in 5–D, and prove two theorem...
متن کاملOn the Algebraic Structure of Second Order Symmetric Tensors in 5-Dimensional Space-times
A new approach to the algebraic classification of second order symmetric tensors in 5-dimensional space-times is presented. The possible Segre types for a symmetric two-tensor are found. A set of canonical forms for each Segre type is obtained. A theorem which collects together some basic results on the algebraic structure of the Ricci tensor in 5-dimensional space-times is also stated. ∗ inter...
متن کاملGlyphs for Asymmetric Second-Order 2D Tensors
Tensors model a wide range of physical phenomena. While symmetric tensors are sufficient for some applications (such as diffusion), asymmetric tensors are required, for example, to describe differential properties of fluid flow. Glyphs permit inspecting individual tensor values, but existing tensor glyphs are fully defined only for symmetric tensors. We propose a glyph to visualize asymmetric s...
متن کاملClassification of Second Order Symmetric Tensors in 5-Dimensional Kaluza-Klein-Type Theories
An algebraic classification of second order symmetric tensors in 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein-type Lorentzian spaces is presented by using Jordan matrices. We show that the possible Segre types are [1, 1111], [2111], [311], [z z̄ 111], and the degeneracies thereof. A set of canonical forms for each Segre type is found. The possible continuous groups of symmetry for each canonical form are also stu...
متن کاملSecond-Order Symmetric Lorentzian Manifolds
Spacetimes with vanishing second covariant derivative of the Riemann tensor are studied. Their existence, classification and explicit local expression are considered. Related issues and open questions are briefly commented.
