Statistically isotropic tensor random fields: Correlation structures

Anatoliy Malyarenko and Martin Ostoja-Starzewski

Vol. 2 (2014), No. 2, 209–231
Abstract

Let V be a real finite-dimensional vector space. We introduce some physical problems that may be described by V -valued homogeneous and isotropic random fields on 3. We propose a general method for calculation of expectations and two-point correlation functions of such fields. Our results are equivalent to classical results by Robertson, when V = 3, and those by Lomakin, when V is the space of symmetric second-rank tensors over 3. Our solution involves an analogue of the classical Clebsch–Gordan coefficients.
