<General relativity

If 𝐓 and 𝐒 are tensors of rank n and m, then there exists a tensor 𝐓𝐒 of rank n+m. The components of the new tensor (pronounced "T tensor S") are obtained by multiplying the components of the old tensors. In other words, if 𝐓=T βα γ𝐞α𝐝xβ𝐞γ and 𝐒=Sμν𝐝xμ𝐝xν, then 𝐓𝐒=T βα γSμν𝐞α𝐝xβ𝐞γ𝐝xμ𝐝xν.
