Assignment-10 : Tensor Analysis .

1. Consider an anti-symmetric tensor 𝑃𝑖𝑗 . with indices 𝑖 and 𝑗 running from 1 to 5. The number
of independent components of the tensor is [GATE 2010]
(a) 3 (b) 10 (c) 9 (d) 6
2. The number of independent components of the symmetric tensor 𝐴𝑖𝑗 with indices 𝑖, 𝑗 =
1,2,3 is [GATE 2012]
(a) 1 (b) 3 (c) 6 (d) 9
3. Let 𝐴 and 𝐵 be two vectors in three dimensional Euclidean space. Under rotation, the
tensor product 𝑇𝑖𝑗 = 𝐴𝑖 𝐵𝑗 . [CSIR Dec. 2013]

(a) reduces to a direct sum of three 3 dimensional representations


(b) is an irreducible 9 dimensional representation
(c) reduces to a direct sum of a 1-dimensional a 3-dimensional and a 5-dimensional irreducible
representations
(d) reduces to a direct sum of a 1-dimensional and an 5-dimensional irreducible
representation
4. The rank-2 tensor 𝑥𝑖 , 𝑥𝑗 where 𝑥𝑖 are the Cartesian coordinates of the position vector in
three dimensions, has 6 independent elements. Under rotation, these 6 elements decompose
into irreducible sets (that is the elements of each set transform only into linear combinations
of elements in that set) containing: [CSIR June 2015]
(a) 4 and 2 elements (b) 5 and 1 elements
(c) 3, 2 and 1 elements (d) 4, 1 and 1 elements
