Description
Generally, the Tensor Trigonometry, with revealing a tensor nature of angles between two lineors or planars (in particular, vectors or lines), and their functions, added under following developing by Differential Trigonometry of regular curves, is created for its wide applications in various fields of exact and applied sciences. Described in the book are fundamentals of this new math subject with many initial various examples of its successful applications.
The main goals of this monograph were to develop, for beginning, a number of algebraic and geometric notions in Theory of Exact Matrices (Part I, Chapters 1-4), and then, on this complete platform, to work out the basic contents of Tensor Trigonometry with bivalent tensor angles of two kinds – projective and motive. They are formed either between two linear subspaces (planars) in the given space or formed by rotation of a linear subspace (planar) in the same space (Part II, Chapters 5-12). Since Tensor Trigonometry may have a lot of applications in mathematical and physical domains, some very important examples of them are exposed in large Appendix in the book.
Planimetry includes metric part and trigonometry. In geometries of metric spaces, from the end of XIX age, their tensor forms are widely used. However, the flat trigonometry is remained only in scalar forms in a plane or in a pseudoplane. Tensor trigonometry is development of the flat Scalar Trigonometry from Leonard Euler classic forms into k-dimensional tensor forms (at k ≥ 2) with their vector and scalar orthoprojections in an admissible coordinate base, and with step by step increasing a complexity and opportunities. So, for k = 2, we developed pseudoplane tensor trigonometry with all its trigonometric relations and complete solution of pseudo-Euclidean right triangles. We illustrate some relations with complementary hyperbolic angles onto the book’s front cover. In math analysis we apply operations of orthogonal differentiation and use well-known such for scalar trigonometric functions.
In theoretic plan, Tensor Trigonometry, with its binary tensor angles and their functions, complements naturally Analytic Geometry and Linear Algebra. In practical plan, it gives own clear instrument for analysis and solutions of various geometric and physical problems in homogeneous isotropic spaces, such as quasi-Euclidean and pseudo-Euclidean ones (i.e., as binary spaces with quadratic metrics); and on their perfect hypersurfaces of constant radius-parameter R embedded into them, with their non-Euclidean geometries of spherical and hyperbolic types. In these spaces and hypersurfaces, the elementary kinds of Tensor Trigonometry give very clarity all general laws of tensor trigonometric summing two-step and polysteps rotations or motions (relativistic velocities) in complete forms with polar decompositions of sums into principal (spherical or hyperbolic) and secondary orthospherical ones. In particular, these laws lead geometrically to the non-commutative Pythagorean Theorems for motions. Tensor Trigonometry gives also projective models of non-Euclidean geometries, but as descriptive trigonometric ones, in that number, using corresponding specific spherical-hyperbolic analogies. Exclusive physical subjects for its effective applications are Theory of Relativity and namely Relativistic Quantum Mechanics.
Along the way, in Minkowski space-time, the simplest sequential genesis of the relativistic physical tensor of energy-momentum and tensor of momenta have been inferred from our dimensionless trigonometric tensors of motions – hyperbolic and general pseudo-Euclidean ones only using corresponding constant physical multipliers to them. From the trigonometric tensor of momenta, we got the pseudo-Euclidean Pythagorean Theorem of three momenta: for own 4-momentum on a world line with relative scalar total momentum on the time arrow and real 3-momentum in the Euclidean subspace. Note especially, that in Minkowski space-time the three possible axial momenta go into 3x3 Euclidean part of the trigonometric tensors of momenta – hyperbolic or general with polar decomposition of the latter. Possible inertial axial orthospherical rotations are causing initially by axial momenta, but one specific kind from them may relate to the non-inertial Thomas precession with axial rotation at the 3rd Euclidean normal axis. In Ch.7A we inferred simplest universal formula for the relativistic Thomas precession (arising at non-collinear motions) and for angular deviations in the hyperbolic and spherical geometries.
The applications were developed by us till the Differential Tensor Trigonometry of world lines and regular curves in pseudo- and quasi-Euclidean spaces of index 1, in addition to the Frenet-Serret theory in 3D Euclidean space, with absolute and relative differential-geometric parameters of curves, main kinematic and dynamical characteristics of a body moving in space-time along a world line with 4-velocity of Poincaré. The essential feature of our approach is that we use natural frame axes to describe main rotations in the binary spaces or identical motions on their hypersurfaces. So, in result of sequential orthogonal differentiations of the Poincaré 4-velocity along a world line, in general, we obtain three inner accelerations: principal 4-acceleration along 4-pseudonornal and two normal 3-accelerations along sine and cosine 3-binormals. All these accelerations are proportional to corresponding angular differentials, tangential to the concomitant Minkowski hyperboloids II or I, and to corresponding curvatures of a world line. These characteristics are summarized in general ones with their local Relative and Absolute Pythagorean Theorems and in tensor-vector-scalar (“tvs”) forms. They are accompanied by tetrahedron or trihedrons along a world line.
For next developing general relativistic (GR) applications of our Tensor Trigonometry, under strict mathematical accompanying, for beginning, we introduced the scalar concept “accelerational potential” P, in addition, to the notion “gravitational potential” P. In its turn, both they generate, as one-to-one with them, the next concepts “accelerational and gravitational cosines of the hyperbolic angle at a world line”, which causing equivalent time dilations. This hyperbolic angle can be variable (so, for hyperbolic motions) and constant (so, for pseudo-screwed motions). Any relative potential P, including arising from acting the hyperbolic motion angle, is proportional with coefficient c2 to difference between the hyperbolic angle cosine and 1. And we named such a purely trigonometric difference by an “energetic coefficient”, since it is equal to k=P/c2=A/E0. In the given world point of N, these scalar accelerational and gravitational potentials P are summarized. Hence these potentials sum or these coefficients k sum determines for an object N its full decrement of time dilation from their influences. Thus, for free relativistic motion of an object N, any from two potentials P is doubling, or any from two coefficients k is doubling. With using such an approach, the simplest explanations of all STR and GR relativistic effects with exact trigonometric or equivalent potential formulas are gotten by us with their clear physical interpretations in Minkowski space-time, moreover, in full agreement with the Law of Energy-Momentum conservation, the 1st Noether Theorem, Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Higgs Theory. We hope that this will contribute to resolving finally the current acute problem of the theory of relativity compatibility with other fundamental theories, namely, at relativistic velocities and in the presence of gravity. (!) For example, we inferred that six of real and equal trigonometric coefficients k lead exactly to the well-known “Mercury perihelion relativistic shift” (with its constant hyperbolic motion angle), according to the Gerber formula. From the other hand, the energetic coefficient k gives an opportunity to interpret relativistic effects, including the Thomas precession, also from the point of view of the Law of Energy conservation.
In addition, then the frame Universe potential P0=c2 determines Poincaré scale factor “c” to time and light velocity in vacuum. Absolute potential is equal to (P0+P), hyperbolic angle cosine is equal to (P0+P)/ P0. We may suppose logically that in any world point the frame potential P0=c2 is produced by the sum of relative potentials P in it of all material objects and other matter in the Universe. Hence in the Universe the meaning of "c" must depend a few on the place and the time. (!) Despite the relative proximity of the Sun, its relative potential P contribution to the value of “c” by this cause is negligible, namely, in the vicinity of the Sun surface near 317m/sec, in the Earth orbit near 1.5m/sec. But the Sun acts with the directed intensity "g" of its gravity field, what leads primary to all GR-effects in the Sun system, for example, to the Mercury perihelion, as was shown above.
If the relative potential P=fM/R of the Sun acts at the distance R on the mass “m” of an object N, then it gives to N an additional energy equivalently to ~ mv2/2. However, if the frame Universe potential P0=c2 acts on the mass “m” of an object N or of another matter, then it gives to them a full energy E= P0m=mc2. If m=m0, then it is E0=m0c2. (!) We see here also immediately, the “m” is gravitational and inertial mass. (!)
The book is intended for researchers in regions of multi-dimensional spaces, analytic geometry, linear algebra with theory of exact matrices, non-Euclidean geometries, theory of relativity with Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, and also to all those who is interested in new knowledges and applications, given by exact sciences. It may be useful for educational purposes on this new math subject in the university departments of algebra, geometry, and physics.

Notes: Notes
This book item is devoted to a new subject of mathematics called by the author "Tensor Trigonometry" in 2003. This initiative math monograph in its original Russian edition (2004) was being created by the author sequentially and step by step in period 1998-2003 in rare free time from his labor and life activity and was finished with its large Appendix by the end of 2003, what is mapped on the author's personal web-site http://ninulas.narod.ru with English main page. Though principal results of its preliminary fundamental Part I was gotten by him else in 1981. The initial impulse consisted in solving by him in the middle 1980 year a problem from the Analytic Geometry, namely, to obtain exact non-rational and limit formulas for the vector-perpendicular falling from a given point onto a given plane in the Euclidean space through known elements of given matrix and vector in this task (in particular, as a normal and in general non rational, how usually, solution of a linear algebraic equation). The well-known article of Russian Academician A.N. Tikhonov of 1965 about equation’s normal solution by his regularization method with the use of a small parameter served to the author as the starting point for creating the preliminary Part I of his future book, what was logically developed by him, but many later till the entire contents of the monograph Tensor Trigonometry, beginning from 1st edition in 2004 up to 3rd edition in 2025. 1st Russian edition of the book (ISBN-10 5-03-003717-9) was reviewed in the beginning of 2004 by eminent Professor of Moscow State University, M. M. Postnikov and then by Professor of Moscow Regional University, O. V. Manturov.
