The components of tensor A are equal to the corresponding components of tensor B in one particular coordinate system, denoted by the superscript 0; that is, A^0_{ij} = B^0_{ij}. Show that tensor A is equal to tensor B, A_{ij} = B_{ij}, in all coordinate systems.

Step 1
We are told that the components of tensor \(A\) are equal to the corresponding components of tensor \(B\) in one particular coordinate system, denoted by the superscript \(O\). This means \(A^O_{ij} = B^O_{ij}\) for all \(i, j\). Show more…

Let D be a second-rank tensor whose components in some frame are Dij = δij. Show that its components in any other frame are the same. This shows that δij may be regarded as a tensor, known as the unit tensor.

Write out the components of $T_{j k}=A_{j} B_{k}-A_{k} B_{j}$ to show that $T_{j k}$ is a $2^{\text {nd }}$ -rank antisymmetric tensor with elements which are the components of $\mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{B}$.

4.1.1 Show that if all the components of any tensor of any rank vanish in one particular coordinate system, they vanish in all coordinate systems. Note. This point takes on special importance in the four-dimensional (4-D) curved space of general relativity. If a quantity, expressed as a tensor, exists in one coordinate system, it exists in all coordinate systems and is not just a consequence of a choice of a coordinate system (as are centrifugal and Coriolis forces in Newtonian mechanics).
