The commutative nonassociative algebra of metric curvature tensors

The commutative nonassociative algebra of metric curvature tensors

Abstract The space of tensors of metric curvature type on a Euclidean vector space carries a two-parameter family of orthogonally invariant commutative nonassociative multiplications invariant with respect to the symmetric bilinear form determined by the metric. For a particular choice of parameters these algebras recover the polarization of the quadratic …
