  Tensor product - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It means that if a pair of tensors are juxtaposed (placed side-by-side) then they combine by mere aggregation to form a new tensor which can be subsequently called the tensor product of the pair of juxtaposed tensors.
The tensor product inherits all the indices of its factors.
In J the tensor product is the dyadic form of */ (for example a */ b or a */ b */ c).

 PlanetMath: tensor product (vector spaces)
Historically, the tensor product was called the outer product, and has its origins in the absolute differential calculus (the theory of manifolds).
This relationship is the source of the terminology ``contravariant tensor'' and ``contravariant index'', and I surmise that it is this very medieval pit of darkness and confusion that spawned the present-day notion of ``contravariant functor''.

 Tensor product - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In mathematics, the tensor product, denoted by \otimes, may be applied in different contexts to vectors, matrices, tensors, vector spaces, algebras and modules.
The tensor product V \otimes W of two vector spaces V and W has a formal definition by the method of generators and relations.
The resulting tensor product V \otimes W is itself a vector space, which can be verified by directly checking the vector space axioms.Given bases \{v_i\} and \{w_i\} for V and W respectively, the tensors of the form v_i \otimes w_jforms a basis for V \otimes W.

 Tensor product of fields - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the theory of fields in abstract algebra lacks a direct product: the direct product of two fields, considered as ring is never itself a field.
One can prove this by calculating the dimension of the tensor product over Q as 9, and observing that the splitting field does contain two (indeed three) copies of K, and is the compositum of two of them.
In algebraic number theory, tensor products of fields are (implicitly, often) a basic tool.

 Encyclopedia: Tensor product
The tensor product in fact satifies the universal property of being a fibered coproduct.
Because the tensor product is left exact, not exact, this may not be a minimal generating set, even if the original generating sets are minimal.
When defining the tensor product, we need to be careful about the ring: most modules can be considered as modules over several different rings or over the same ring with a different actions of the ring on the module elements.

Universal property of tensor product: The space of all multilinear maps from V xW to R is naturally isomorphic to the space of all linear maps from V ⊗W to R.
Tensor spaces allow us to use the theory of linear operators to study multi-linear operators, and this says the bilinear case is the main hurdle.

 THE MEANING OF "TENSOR"
These are more general than the tensor product which is very often reserved on certain occasions to be direct products of linear (vector) spaces.
Roughly, according to a classical theorem (Levi's theorem) on the subject, any Lie group is a semidirect product of a solvable algebra by a semisimple algebra, meaning that the structure problem is broken into determining the structure problems for solvable and semisimple algebras.
Tensor Product The tensor product grows from the idea of the "Cartesian Product" of the one dimensional x-axis as a vector space, and the one dimensional y-axis in elementary algebra to form the two dimensional Cartesian plane.

 R: Define tensor product smooths in GAM formulae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Smooths of several covariates can be constructed from tensor products of the bases used to represent smooths of one (or sometimes more) of the covariates.
The basis dimension of the whole smooth is the product of the basis dimensions of the marginal smooths.
Tensor product smooths are especially useful for representing functions of covariates measured in different units, although they are typically not quite as nicely behaved as t.p.r.s.

Tensor product bases having as best N term approximation spaces anisotropic Besov spaces are so far only known for cube-like domains.
The use of tensor product wavelet schemes is a promising approach, since it allows for approximation rates which are up to logarithmic terms independent of the dimension.
We show that tensor product wavelet bases are suitable for the approximation of elliptic singularities and give the maximal rates valid for smooth parts of the solution to be approximated.

Einstein summation convention This states that in a product of two indexed arrays, if an index letter in the first is repeated in the second, then the (default) interpretation is that the product is summed over all values of the index.
This avoids the initial use of components, and is distinguished by the explicit use of the tensor product symbol.
The wedge product is the anti-symmetic form of the \otimes operation.

 Tensor product space ANOVA models in multivariate function estimation
To deal with the curse of dimensionality in high dimensional nonparametric problems, we consider using tensor product space ANOVA models, which extend the popular additive models and are able to capture interactions of any order.
This means that the optimal rate for the tensor product space ANOVA models is very close to the optimal rate for one dimensional models.
Thus in a sense, curse of dimensionality is overcome by the tensor product space ANOVA models.

For tensor products of three and more vector spaces: another "abstract nonsense" fact can be proved, namely that (V ox W) ox Z is (explicitly, "canonically") isomorphic to V ox (W ox Z) so that we can drop the parentheses if we are not finicky about isomorphisms of this kind.
Such a tensor can be regarded as an element of the tensor product of the duals of the corresponding vector spaces as above.

For a simple Lie algebra g there is a ring homomorphism from the representation ring of its finite dimensional representations, to the ring of "level-restricted" representations that takes the usual tensor product to the fusion product.
We are interested in a $q$-analogue of the tensor product that is compatible with the level restriction map; here by $q$-analogue we mean a grading or filtration.
Affine crystal theory yields a natural grading of both the ordinary and fusion tensor product multiplicity, but at the cost of replacing the irreducible tensor factors with suitable representations (which outside of type A, no longer be irreducible).
