| Dual[expr] allows one to calculate the dual operator on an expression (just rise and lower indexes in local coordinates) |
- expr - any tensor expression.
- The operator has the following properties:
- - The Dual operator is linear.
- - For any vector field X in local coordinates we have: Dual(X)j=
Xigij
- - For any 1-form
in local coordinates we have: Dual(
)i=
jgji
- - For any tensor fields
and
the following rule for dual operator takes place: Dual(
T)=(Dual(
))
(Dual(T))
