Undergrad Affine transformation and coordinates of maps

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the contravariant and covariant coordinates of the affine map φ_{1,1}: ℝ → ℝ defined by x → x + 1, using the basis B = {2x, 1}. A participant suggests that clarifying the definitions of co- and contravariant coordinates could facilitate better assistance, as terminology may vary among contributors. The exercise involves understanding how affine transformations relate to different coordinate systems. Participants are encouraged to share their knowledge of these concepts to aid in solving the problem. The thread highlights the importance of clear definitions in mathematical discussions.

Hi everyone!

I'm having trouble with the following exercise:

Let ##\mathrm {Aff}(ℝ)## be the vector space of the affine maps from ##ℝ## to ##ℝ##:
$$φ_{a,b}:ℝ→ℝ$$ $$x→a x + b$$

Find the contravariant and and covariant coordinate of the map:
$$φ_{1,1}:ℝ→ℝ$$ $$x→x + 1$$ with respect to the bases ##\mathcal{B}:= \left\lbrace 2x,1 \right\rbrace ##

Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Maybe if you define for us the co- and contra- variant cordinates, we may be better able to help you; we may know (of) them by different names.
 
I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
