Pushforward of a contravariant tensor
ID: pushforward-of-a-contravariant-tensor
The pushforward of a contravariant tensor applies the differential of a smooth map to each vector factor of a type tensor. It is defined pointwise at a specified source point. A field generally gives a field along the map, not necessarily a unique tensor field on the image when several points have the same image. A diffeomorphism allows the usual transport of arbitrary mixed tensors through its inverse as well.
