Graduate Understand (k,l) Tensors in Gen. Relativity
I was confused by thinking that type (0, 1) tensor meant (k, l) tensor, not understanding about the mapping to R.- GeoffFB

Graduate Understand (k,l) Tensors in Gen. Relativity
In both Wald and Carroll, a type (k,l) tensor has k dual vectors and l vectors, yet a (1,0) tensor is a vector and a (0,1) tensor is a dual vector. I must be missing something simple. Please explain.- GeoffFB
