Lesson plan
Bitensor
In differential geometry and general relativity, a bitensor (or bi-tensor ) is a tensorial object that depends on two points in a manifold, as opposed to ordinary tensors which depend on a single point. Bitensors provide a framework for describing relationships between different points in spacetime and are used in the study of various phenomena in curved spacetime.
