definition

Linear equivalence (Contr d⊗Contr d).V≅Matrix1+d(R)(\text{Contr} \ d \otimes \text{Contr} \ d).V \cong \text{Matrix}_{1+d}(\mathbb{R})

For any spatial dimension d∈N d \in \mathbb{N} , there exists a linear equivalence between the vector space of the tensor product of two contravariant Lorentz vectors, denoted (Contr d⊗Contr d).V (\text{Contr} \ d \otimes \text{Contr} \ d).V , and the space of real square matrices of size (1+d)×(1+d) (1+d) \times (1+d) . This equivalence maps a tensor in the product space to its matrix representation relative to the basis formed by the tensor product of the contravariant bases.

theorem

Expansion of contrContrToMatrixRe−1\text{contrContrToMatrixRe}^{-1} in the Tensor Product Basis

Let MM be a real (1+d)×(1+d)(1+d) \times (1+d) matrix whose indices i,ji, j range over Fin 1⊕Fin d\text{Fin } 1 \oplus \text{Fin } d (representing temporal and spatial components). The inverse of the linear equivalence `contrContrToMatrixRe`, which maps a matrix to an element of the tensor product of two contravariant Lorentz vector spaces (Contr d⊗Contr d).V(\text{Contr } d \otimes \text{Contr } d).V, is given by the sum: contrContrToMatrixRe−1(M)=∑i∑jMij(ei⊗ej),\text{contrContrToMatrixRe}^{-1}(M) = \sum_{i} \sum_{j} M_{ij} (e_i \otimes e_j), where eie_i and eje_j are the ii-th and jj-th basis vectors of the contravariant Lorentz space Contr d\text{Contr } d, respectively.

definition

Linear equivalence (VCo d⊗VCo d)≅Matrix(1+d)×(1+d)(R)(V_{\text{Co } d} \otimes V_{\text{Co } d}) \cong \text{Matrix}_{(1+d) \times (1+d)}(\mathbb{R})

For a given dimension d∈Nd \in \mathbb{N}, the linear equivalence `coCoToMatrixRe` identifies the tensor product of two covariant Lorentz vector spaces, VCo d⊗RVCo dV_{\text{Co } d} \otimes_{\mathbb{R}} V_{\text{Co } d}, with the space of (1+d)×(1+d)(1+d) \times (1+d) real matrices Mat(1+d)×(1+d)(R)\text{Mat}_{(1+d) \times (1+d)}(\mathbb{R}). The matrix indices are taken from the set Fin 1⊕Fin d\text{Fin } 1 \oplus \text{Fin } d, representing the temporal and spatial components of a 1+d1+d dimensional spacetime. The mapping is constructed by taking the representation of a tensor in the product basis coBasis d⊗coBasis d\text{coBasis } d \otimes \text{coBasis } d and currying the resulting coefficients into a matrix format.

theorem

Basis expansion of coCoToMatrixRe−1(M)\text{coCoToMatrixRe}^{-1}(M) in terms of covariant tensors ei⊗eje_i \otimes e_j

For a real matrix MM of size (1+d)×(1+d)(1+d) \times (1+d) indexed by i,j∈Fin 1⊕Fin di, j \in \text{Fin } 1 \oplus \text{Fin } d, the inverse of the linear equivalence coCoToMatrixRe\text{coCoToMatrixRe} (denoted as coCoToMatrixRe−1\text{coCoToMatrixRe}^{-1}) maps MM to the tensor product of covariant basis vectors according to the expansion: coCoToMatrixRe−1(M)=∑i∑jMij⋅(ei⊗ej)\text{coCoToMatrixRe}^{-1}(M) = \sum_{i} \sum_{j} M_{ij} \cdot (e_i \otimes e_j) where {ek}\{e_k\} denotes the standard basis for the covariant Lorentz vector space (`coBasis d`).

definition

Linear isomorphism (V⊗V∗)≅Mat1+d(R)(V \otimes V^*) \cong \text{Mat}_{1+d}(\mathbb{R})

For a given spatial dimension d∈Nd \in \mathbb{N}, the linear isomorphism contrCoToMatrixRe\text{contrCoToMatrixRe} identifies the tensor product of the space of contravariant Lorentz vectors VV (denoted as `Contr d`) and covariant Lorentz vectors V∗V^* (denoted as `Co d`) with the space of (1+d)×(1+d)(1+d) \times (1+d) real matrices Mat1+d(R)\text{Mat}_{1+d}(\mathbb{R}). It maps a tensor product of vectors to its representation as a matrix relative to the standard bases of VV and V∗V^*.

theorem

For any real matrix MM of size (1+d)×(1+d)(1+d) \times (1+d), the inverse of the linear isomorphism contrCoToMatrixRe\text{contrCoToMatrixRe} (which identifies the tensor product of contravariant and covariant Lorentz vectors with the space of matrices) is given by the basis expansion: contrCoToMatrixRe−1(M)=∑i,jMi,j(ei⊗ϵj)\text{contrCoToMatrixRe}^{-1}(M) = \sum_{i, j} M_{i,j} (e_i \otimes \epsilon^j) where eie_i is the ii-th basis vector of the contravariant Lorentz space (`contrBasis`) and ϵj\epsilon^j is the jj-th basis vector of the covariant Lorentz space (`coBasis`), with indices i,j∈{0,1,…,d}i, j \in \{0, 1, \dots, d\}.

definition

The definition establishes a linear equivalence (isomorphism of vector spaces) between the tensor product of the covariant Lorentz vector space Co d\text{Co } d and the contravariant Lorentz vector space Contr d\text{Contr } d and the space of (1+d)×(1+d)(1+d) \times (1+d) real matrices. The indices of the matrices are taken from the set {0,1,…,d}\{0, 1, \dots, d\}, represented by the direct sum of finite types Fin 1⊕Fin d\text{Fin } 1 \oplus \text{Fin } d.

theorem

Let MM be a real (1+d)×(1+d)(1+d) \times (1+d) matrix whose indices i,ji, j are taken from the set {0,1,…,d}\{0, 1, \dots, d\} (represented by the type Fin 1⊕Fin d\text{Fin } 1 \oplus \text{Fin } d). Let ϕ:Co d⊗Contr d≃Mat(1+d)×(1+d)(R)\phi : \text{Co } d \otimes \text{Contr } d \simeq \text{Mat}_{(1+d) \times (1+d)}(\mathbb{R}) be the linear equivalence `coContrToMatrixRe` between the tensor product of covariant and contravariant Lorentz vector spaces and the space of matrices. The inverse of this map, ϕ−1\phi^{-1}, applied to MM is equal to the sum of the tensor products of the basis vectors weighted by the matrix entries: ϕ−1(M)=∑i∑jMi,j(ωi⊗vj)\phi^{-1}(M) = \sum_{i} \sum_{j} M_{i,j} (\omega_i \otimes v^j) where {ωi}\{\omega_i\} is the standard basis for the covariant Lorentz vector space Co d\text{Co } d and {vj}\{v^j\} is the standard basis for the contravariant Lorentz vector space Contr d\text{Contr } d.

Let MM be an element of the Lorentz group with matrix representation Λ\Lambda. The linear equivalence `coCoToMatrixRe`, which identifies tensors with (1+d)×(1+d)(1+d) \times (1+d) real matrices, satisfies the following transformation law under the Lorentz group action ρ\rho: coCoToMatrixRe((ρ(M)⊗ρ(M))v)=(Λ−1)T(coCoToMatrixRe v)Λ−1\text{coCoToMatrixRe}((\rho(M) \otimes \rho(M))v) = (\Lambda^{-1})^T (\text{coCoToMatrixRe } v) \Lambda^{-1} where ρ(M)\rho(M) is the representation of the Lorentz group acting on the covariant vector space.
