This is the element corresponding to the inner product. * If `E` is finite-dimensional, then `E ⊗[ℝ] E` is canonically isomorphic to its dual. Accordingly, there exists an element `InnerProductSpace.canonicalCovariantTensor E : E ⊗[ℝ] E` that corresponds to `InnerProductSpace.canonicalContravariantTensor E` under this identification. The theorem `InnerProductSpace.canonicalCovariantTensorRepresentation` shows that `InnerProductSpace.canonicalCovariantTensor E` can be computed from any orthonormal basis `v` as `∑ i, (v i) ⊗ₜ[ℝ] (v i)`. -/ open InnerProductSpace open TensorProduct noncomputable def InnerProductSpace.canonicalContravariantTensor {E : Type*} [NormedAddCommGroup E] [InnerProductSpace ℝ E] : E ⊗[ℝ] E →ₗ[ℝ] ℝ := TensorProduct.lift bilinFormOfRealInner noncomputable def InnerProductSpace.canonicalCovariantTensor (E : Type*) [NormedAddCommGroup E] [InnerProductSpace ℝ E] [FiniteDimensional ℝ E] : E ⊗[ℝ] E := ∑ i, ((stdOrthonormalBasis ℝ E) i) ⊗ₜ[ℝ] ((stdOrthonormalBasis ℝ E) i) theorem InnerProductSpace.canonicalCovariantTensorRepresentation (E : Type*) [NormedAddCommGroup E] [InnerProductSpace ℝ E] [FiniteDimensional ℝ E] [Fintype ι] (v : OrthonormalBasis ι ℝ E) : InnerProductSpace.canonicalCovariantTensor E = ∑ i, (v i) ⊗ₜ[ℝ] (v i) := by let w := stdOrthonormalBasis ℝ E conv => right arg 2 intro i rw [← w.sum_repr' (v i)] simp_rw [TensorProduct.sum_tmul, TensorProduct.tmul_sum, TensorProduct.smul_tmul_smul] conv => right rw [Finset.sum_comm] arg 2 intro y rw [Finset.sum_comm] arg 2 intro x rw [← Finset.sum_smul] arg 1 arg 2 intro i rw [← real_inner_comm (w x)] simp_rw [OrthonormalBasis.sum_inner_mul_inner v] have {i} : ∑ j, ⟪w i, w j⟫_ℝ • w i ⊗ₜ[ℝ] w j = w i ⊗ₜ[ℝ] w i := by rw [Fintype.sum_eq_single i, orthonormal_iff_ite.1 w.orthonormal]; simp intro _ _; rw [orthonormal_iff_ite.1 w.orthonormal]; simp; tauto simp_rw [this] rfl
