1. In four dimensions, Petrov names a classification scheme for one named for Weyl, while one sometimes conamed for York is the three dimensional analog of that Weyl one and is usually named for Cotton. Their dyadic
variety may be used as a rotation operator, and it names a product between two of these of rank one to yield one of
order two and rank one. A mixed one is neither contra- or covariant. These geometric constructs are useful in
understanding the Kronecker delta function. Calculating the second derivative of one of these constructs involves
expressions for the Levi-Civita connection, both the first and second kinds of symbols named for Christoffel that use
the same index notation as these geometrical entities. Another mathematical physicist associated with these
geometrical constructs names one that is a measure of volume distortion and is a contraction of the Riemann
curvature one; his name is Ricci-Curbastro. For 10 points, name these generalizations of matrices used in physics to

justification was in the application of the second law of thermodynamics, proving the spectrum of the radiation
energy density within the box was equivalent at all wavelengths for a given temperature. This relation states that for
