Spherical harmonic d-tensors (1812.11169v2)
Published 28 Dec 2018 in math-ph, gr-qc, hep-th, and math.MP
Abstract: Tensor harmonics are a useful mathematical tool for finding solutions to differential equations which transform under a particular representation of the rotation group $\mathrm{SO}(3)$. The aim of this work is to make use of this tool also in the setting of Finsler geometry, or more general geometries on the tangent bundle, where the objects of relevance are d-tensors on the tangent bundle, or tensors in a pullback bundle, instead of ordinary tensors. For this purpose, we construct a set of d-tensor harmonics for spherical symmetry and show how these can be used for calculations in Finsler geometry.
