Keywords:
derivation; Frölicher-Nijenhius bracket; symmetric differential; symmetric Lie derivative; symmetric tensor
Summary:
In this paper the symmetric differential and symmetric Lie derivative are introduced. Using these tools derivations of the algebra of symmetric tensors are classified. We also define a Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket for vector valued symmetric tensors.
