Multilinear Form
In abstract algebra and multilinear algebra, a multilinear form on a vector space V over a field K is a map :f\colon V^k \to K that is separately K- linear in each of its k arguments. More generally, one can define multilinear forms on a module over a commutative ring. The rest of this article, however, will only consider multilinear forms on finite-dimensional vector spaces. A multilinear k-form on V over \R is called a (covariant) \boldsymbol-tensor, and the vector space of such forms is usually denoted \mathcal^k(V) or \mathcal^k(V). Tensor product Given a k-tensor f\in\mathcal^k(V) and an \ell-tensor g\in\mathcal^\ell(V), a product f\otimes g\in\mathcal^(V), known as the tensor product, can be defined by the property : (f\otimes g)(v_1,\ldots,v_k,v_,\ldots, v_)=f(v_1,\ldots,v_k)g(v_,\ldots, v_), for all v_1,\ldots,v_\in V. The tensor product of multilinear forms is not commutative; however it is bilinear and associative: : f\otimes(ag_1+bg_2)=a(f\otimes g_1)+b( ...
