Pushforward - differential of a mapping

Pushforward[expr, mapId]
allows one to calculate the pushforward - mapping differential of a tensor field
  • mapId - variable - the mapping identifier i.e. mapId : dom1 ---> dom2.
  • expr - expression - a tensor expression.
  • The mapping differential is a linearly defined operation on [k,0] tensors at a point only. The definition is as follows.
  • Let M and N be manifolds of dimensions m=dim(M), n=dim(N). Let F be mapping between the manifolds: F:MN defined by functions:
  • where {x1, x2,..xm} are local coordinates on M and {y1, y2,..yn} are local coordinates on N (in some domains).
  • The differential of F is the mapping F`*` of corresponding tangent spaces F`*`:TMTN at a point.
  • - For any [1,0] tensor field T on M F`*`(T) is tensor field =Pushforward[T, F] on N with components in local coordinates.
  • The formulas considered above completely define the linear restriction operator Pushforward.
