Products, coproducts and singular value decomposition
Products and coproducts may be recognized as morphisms in a monoidal tensor
category of vector spaces. To gain invariant data of these morphisms, we can
use singular value decomposition which attaches singular values, ie generalized
eigenvalues, to these maps. We show, for the case of Grassmann and Clifford
products, that twist maps significantly alter these data reducing degeneracies.
Since non group like coproducts give rise to non classical behavior of the
algebra of functions, ie make them noncommutative, we hope to be able to learn
more about such geometries. Remarkably the coproduct for positive singular
values of eigenvectors in yields directly corresponding eigenvectors in
