Abstract

Decomposing the space of k-tensors on a manifold M into the components invariant and irreducible under the action of GL(n) (or O(n) when M carries a Riemannian structure) one can define generalized gradients as differential operators obtained from a linear connection ∇ on M by restriction and projection to such components. We study the ellipticity of gradients defined in this way.
