The space of linear differential operators on a smooth manifold M has a natural one-parameter family of Diff(M )-(and Vect(M )-) module structures, defined by their action on the space of tensor densities. It is shown that, in the case of secondorder differential operators, the Vect(M)-module struct

β¦ Synopsis
A recently proposed tensor-tensor multiplication (M.E. Kilmer, C.D. Martin, L. Perrone, A Third-Order Generalization of the Matrix SVD as a Product of Third-Order Tensors, Tech. Rep. TR-2008-4, Tufts University, October 2008) opens up new avenues to understanding the action of n Γ n Γ n tensors on a space of n Γ n matrices. In particular it emphasizes the need to understand the space of objects upon which tensors act. This paper defines a free module and shows that every linear transformation on that module can be represented by tensor multiplication. In addition, it presents a generalization of ideas of eigenvalue and eigenvector to the space of n Γ n Γ n tensors.
