Mathematical Physics Question on Vectors

Given that AαA^\alpha and BβB_\beta (α,β=1,2,3,,n\alpha, \beta = 1, 2, 3, \ldots, n) are contravariant and covariant vectors, respectively, and by convention, any repeated indices are summed over. Which of the following expressions is/are tensors?

A

AαBβA^\alpha B_\beta

B

AαBβAαBα\frac{A^\alpha B_\beta}{A^\alpha B_\alpha}

C

AαBβ\frac{A^\alpha}{B_\beta}

D

Aα+BβA^\alpha + B_\beta

Answer

AαBβA^\alpha B_\beta

Explanation

Solution

The correct Answers are (A):AαBβA^\alpha B_\beta,(B):AαBβAαBα\frac{A^\alpha B_\beta}{A^\alpha B_\alpha}
