Abstract
It is known from the theory of group representations that a general orthogonal tensor in three dimensions can be expressed in terms of traceless symmetric tensors and isotropic tensors. This note describes an explicit method of effecting this decomposition for a tensor of arbitrary order. The method employs only elementary algebra and makes no use of group theory.
