 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 (mathematics) is never itself a field.
As a ring, it is sometimes a field, and often a direct product of fields; it can though contain non-zero nilpotents (see radical of a ring).
Each such field is a representative of an equivalence class of (essentially distinct) field embeddings for K and L in some extension of M. When K is a number field, this result can be combined with Dirichlet's unit theorem to yield the rank of the group of units of K. edit]

 Tensor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Tensors may be written down in terms of coordinate systems, as arrays of scalars, but are defined so as to be independent of any chosen frame of reference.
In the field of diffusion tensor imaging, for instance, a tensor quantity that expresses the differential permeability of organs to water in varying directions is used to produce scans, for example of the brain.
Note that the word "tensor" is often used as a shorthand for tensor field, which is a tensor value defined at every point in a manifold.

 Tensor product of R-algebras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, there is a construction in abstract algebra of the tensor product of commutative rings; which puts a ring structure on the tensor product as abelian groups of two commutative rings R and S.
We observe the multilinear nature of the product
This construction is of constant use in algebraic geometry: working in the opposite category to that of commutative R-algebras, it provides pullbacks of affine schemes, otherwise known as fiber products.

 PlanetMath: tensor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A tensor is the mathematical idealization of a geometric or physical quantity that may be represented relative to a given frame of reference as an array of numbers
Examples of physical tensors are the energy-momentum tensor, and the polarization tensor.
Tensor field concepts, which typically involved derivatives of some kind, are discussed elsewhere.

 THE MEANING OF "TENSOR"
In group theory, there is an additional important combining form called a "semidirect product", a typical example of which is the combining, in an affine Euclidean space, of a group of rotations with a group of translations.
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.

 Tensor - FreeEncyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In mathematics, a tensor is a certain kind of geometrical entity which generalizes the concepts of scalar, vector and linear operator in a way that is independent of any chosen frame of reference.
Tensors are of importance in differential geometry, physics and engineering.
Note that the word "tensor" is often used as a shorthand for tensor field, a concept which defines a tensor value at every point in a manifold.

 Tools of Tensor calculus - Tensors and Forms
As we have stressed in the Introduction a tensor in TTC is handled as a single (geometric) object, so, in addition to the components, one has to input also the basis elements.
The notation for tensors follows a rather straigthforward generalization of the notation for vectors and 1-forms that we have seen in the previous chapter.
Tensors of type (0, q) which are antisymmetrics on all q indices are called exterior q-forms.

 Tensor (intrinsic definition)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In differential geometry an intrinsic geometric statement may be described by a tensor field on a manifold, and then doesn't need to make references to coordinates at all.
The same is true in general relativity, of tensor fields describing a physical property.
(The term "tensor" is sometimes used as a shorthand for "tensor field".) For instance, the curvature tensor is discussed in differential geometry and the stress-energy tensor is important in physics and engineering.

 Compositum
Therefore the compositum is isomorphic to the tensor product iff the tensor product embeds in e.
Since the tensor product is essentially the cross product of s and t, with r in common, every pair generator used to build u has to have an s component of 0 or a t component of 0.
The field extension t(x)/t has dimension equal to the degree of g, or less, yet x is a root of p, which is irreducible, hence the dimension of t(x)/t equals the degree of p.

 Straightening Bases for Tensor Products   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Corresponding to each of these tableaux, there is a tensor $e_{\bf T}$ in $\bigotimes^3 V$ that is an element of the straightening basis for $\bigotimes^3 V$ (but, because there are not enough of them, these are not all of the elements of the straightening basis).
Thus the tensor $P(\sigma_{T'})(e_{\bf T})$ is the element of the straightening basis corresponding to the pair $[{\bf T}, T']$.
\bigskip The representative tensor $e_{\bf T}$ is the tensor product of $k$ elements of the Grassmann algebra, each of those $k$ elements constructed in turn by taking the wedge product of the basis elements of $V$ with indices from the corresponding row of ${\bf T}$.

 PlanetMath: scheme   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In order to extend algebraic geometry to deal with fields that are not algebraically closed, it is necessary to generalize the notions of affine variety and projective variety.
A scheme in some sense captures the equations defining an algebraic object, so that the points of that object can be examined over many different fields.
In fact, the points of such an object take a secondary role: this is neccesary because, for example, over a finite field most curves have no points at all until you pass to a suitable field extension.

 Are Perceptual Fields Quantum Fields   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
We examine a handful of mathematical parallels between the visual field and its concomitant quantum field, and argue for an identity between the two fields.
Feigl’s “immediately experienced qualities, or their configurations in the various phenomenal fields” might then be identified with ‘observables, or their configurations, in various quantum fields’ - what amounts to a mind/brain identity theory wherein the matter of the brain is viewed at the quantum level.
This means that independently of the choice of frame of reference, the same field theory is the object of our investigation; changing from one frame to another the fields transform covariantly according to the rule imposed by the principle of relativity.

 Tensor Field Visualization
Our technique is a global method that represents the physical meaning of these tensor fields with their central features: regions of compression and expansion.
The method is based on two steps: first we define a positive definite metric, with the same topological structure as the tensor field; second, the resulting metric is visualized.
The eigenvector fields are represented using a texture-based approach resembling LIC methods.
