- Why can't the inner product of two tensors be a scalar?
I am trying to learn tensor calculus with Bernacchi's book "Tensors made easy". For the inner product of two rank-2 tensors he gets four different results, each of them a rank-2 tensor. Why can't there be a fifth solution, a scalar? What is wrong with the following equation?
