Some one please help me how to prove the following:

\dot{A}:B + A:\dot{B}=A^{\nabla J}:B+A:B^{\nabla J}

A and B are II order tensors and : represents the inner product.

How do I prove the following:

\dot{A}:B + A:\dot{B}=A^{\nabla J}:B+A:B^{\nabla J}
 


Where did you get this notation from? What is your dot? What is your J? What do you mean by "inner product", for what kind of tensors? Any reference to some place where your original notation is defined?
 


The dot represents material time derivative. A and B are second order tensors, eg Stress.
I myself am not clear what \nabla J means here. However, I guess it represents divergence.

This was as a homework question for a Continuum Mechanics course. I have not got any luck trying to understand or prove this expression. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
 
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
