A rank m symmetric tensor field on a Riemannian manifold is called a Killing field if the symmetric part of its covariant derivative is equal to zero. Such a field determines the first integral of the geodesic flow which is a degree m homogeneous polynomial in velocities. There exist global isothermal coordinates on a two-dimensional Riemannian torus such that the metric is of the form ds^2= λ(z)|dz|^2 in the coordinates. The torus admits a third rank Killing tensor field if and only if the function λ satisfies the equation R(∂/∂z（λ(c∆^-1λ_zz+a))= 0 with some complex constants a and c≠0. The latter equation is equivalent to some system of quadratic equations relating Fourier coefficients of the function λ. If the functions λ and λ + λ_0 satisfy the equation for a real constant λ0, 0, then there exists a non-zero Killing vector field on the torus.

The concept of a spherically symmetric second-rank tensor field is formulated. A general representation of such a tensor field is derived. Results related to tensor analysis of spherically symmetric fields and their geometric properties are presented. Using these results, a formulation of the spherically symmetric problem of the nonlinear theory of dislocations is given. For an isotropic nonlinear elastic material with an arbitrary spherically symmetric distribution of dislocations, this problem is reduced to a nonlinear boundary value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations. In the case of an incompressible isotropic material and a spherically symmetric distribution of screw dislocations in the radial direction, an exact analytical solution is found for the equilibrium of a hollow sphere loaded from the outside and from the inside by hydrostatic pressures. This solution is suitable for any models of an isotropic incompressible body, i. e., universal in the specified class of materials. Based on the obtained solution, numerical calculations on the effect of dislocations on the stress state of an elastic hollow sphere at large deformations are carried out.

We consider a Yang–Mills theory in loop space with the affine gauge group. From this theory, we derive a local field theory with Yang–Mills fields and Abelian antisymmetric and symmetric tensor fields of the second rank. The Chapline–Manton coupling, i.e. coupling of Yang–Mills fields and a second-rank antisymmetric tensor field via the Chern–Simons three-form is obtained systematically.

Edge Labeling

In this work, we propose a controlled simplification strategy for degenerated points in symmetric 2D tensor fields that is based on the topological notion of robustness. Robustness measures the structural stability of the degenerate points with respect to variation in the underlying field. We consider an entire pipeline for generating a hierarchical set of degenerate points based on their robustness values. Such a pipeline includes the following steps: the stable extraction and classification of degenerate points using an edge labeling algorithm, the computation and assignment of robustness values to the degenerate points, and the construction of a simplification hierarchy. We also discuss the challenges that arise from the discretization and interpolation of real world data.

AbstractWe show that a vector field in {\mathbb{R}^{n}} can be reconstructed uniquely from the knowledge of restricted Doppler and first integral moment transforms. The line complex we consider consists of all lines passing through a fixed curve {\gamma\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}}. The question of reconstruction of a symmetric m-tensor field from the knowledge of the first {m+1} integral moments was posed by Sharafutdinov [Integral Geometry of Tensor Fields, Inverse Ill-posed Probl. Ser. 1, De Gruyter, Berlin, 1994, p. 78]. In this work, we provide an answer to Sharafutdinov’s question for the case of vector fields from restricted data comprising of the first two integral moment transforms.

The challenge of tensor field visualization is to provide simple and comprehensible representations of data which vary both directionallyandspatially. We explore the use of differential operators to extract features from tensor fields. These features can be used to generate skeleton representations of the data that accurately characterize the global field structure. Previously, vector field operators such as gradient, divergence, and curl have previously been used to visualize of flow fields. In this paper, we use generalizations of these operators to locate and classify tensor field degenerate points and to partition the field into regions of homogeneous behavior. We describe the implementation of our feature extraction and demonstrate our new techniques on synthetic data sets of order 2, 3 and 4.

The Right

The relativistic symmetric tensor fields are, in four dimensions, the right candidates to describe Higher Spin Fields. Their highest spin content is isolated with the aid of covariant conditions, discussed within a group theory framework, in which auxiliary fields remove the lower intrinsic angular momenta sectors. These conditions are embedded within a Lagrangian Quantum Field theory which describes an Higher Spin Field interacting with a Classical background. The model is invariant under a (B.R.S.) symmetric unconstrained tensor extension of the reparametrization symmetry, which include the Fang–Fronsdal algebra in a well defined limit. However, the symmetry setting reveals that the compensator field, which restore the Fang–Fronsdal symmetry of the free equations of motion, is in the existing in the framework and has a relevant geometrical meaning. The Ward identities coming from this symmetry are discussed. Our constraints give the result that the space of the invariant observables is restricted to the ones constructed with the Highest Spin Field content. The quantum extension of the symmetry reveals that no new anomaly is present. The role of the compensator field in this result is fundamental.
