Abstract

In this letter, focusing in 4-dimensions, we extend our previous results of solving linear tensor equations. In particular, we consider a 30 parameter linear tensor equation for the unknown tensor components Nαμν in terms of the known (sources) components Bαμν. Our extension now consists in including also the parity even linear terms in Nαμν (and the associated traces) formed by contracting the latter with the 4-dimensional Levi-Civita pseudo-tensor. Assuming a generic non-degeneracy condition and following a step by step procedure we show how one can solve explicitly for the unknown tensor field components Nαμν and consequently derive its unique and exact solution in terms of the components Bαμν.
