We show how the ad hoc prescriptions appearing in 2001 for the Lie derivative of Lorentz tensors are a direct consequence of the Kosmann lift defined earlier, in a much more general setting encompassing older results of Y. Kosmann about Lie derivatives of spinors.
The notion of a -triple is studied in connection with a geometrical approach to the generalized Hurwitz problem for quadratic or bilinear forms. Some properties are obtained, generalizing those derived earlier by the present authors for the Hurwitz maps S × V → V. In particular, the dependence of each scalar product involved on the symmetry or antisymmetry is discussed as well as the configurations depending on various choices of the metric tensors of scalar products of the basis elements. Then...
Generalizations of the classical Schwarzian derivative of complex analysis have been proposed by Osgood and Stowe [12, 13], Carne [5], and Ahlfors [3]. We present another generalization of the Schwarzian derivative over vector spaces.
The article deals with bundles of linear algebra as a specifications of the case of smooth manifold. It allows to introduce on smooth manifold a metric by a natural way. The transfer of geometric structure arising in the linear spaces of associative algebras to a smooth manifold is also presented.
The article deals with spaces the geometry of which is defined by cyclic and anticyclic algebras. Arbitrary multiplicative function is taken as a fundamental form. Motions are given as linear transformation preserving given multiplicative function.
