Covariance in Non-Commutative Algebra

Abstract

Consider vector space over non-commutative division algebra. Set of automorphisms of this vector space is group $GL$. Group $GL$ acts on the set of bases of vector space (basis manifold) single transitive and generates active representation. Twin representation on basis manifold is called passive representation. There is no automorphism associated with passive transformation. However passive transformation generates transformation of coordinates of vector with respect to basis. If we consider homomorphism of vector space $V$ into vector space $W$, then we can learn how passive transformation in vector space $V$ generates transformation of coordinates of vector in vector space $W$. Vector in vector space $W$ is called geometric object in vector space $V$. Covariance principle states that geometric object does not depend on the choice of basis. I considered transformation of coordinates of vector and polylinear map.
