Covariant tensor

Japanese: 共変テンソル - きょうへんてんそる
Covariant tensor

... Fixing a set of bases e i ( i = 1, ..., n ) in an n -dimensional vector space E , a vector v = v i e i in E can be treated as a set of n real numbers v i ( i = 1, ..., n ) with one index above. In the same vein, for non-negative integers r and s , an r -th contravariant, s -th covariant tensor, or ( r , s ) tensor, can be said to be a set of nr + s real numbers (1≦ i k , jl n ) with r indices above and s indices below. For example, the vector v i is a first-order contravariant tensor. ...

… n次元ベクトル空間Eに1組の基底ei(i=1,……,n)を固定すると,Eのベクトルvvieiは,上に一つの添字をもつn個の実数vi(i=1,……,n)の組として取り扱える。これと同じ流儀でいえば負でない整数r,sに対して,r次反変,s次共変テンソル,または(r,s)テンソルは上にr個,下にs個の添字をもつnrs個の実数(1≦ik,jln)の組であるということができる。例えば,ベクトルviは一次反変テンソルである。…
