PF tensor product space equation

In summary, a PF tensor product space equation is a mathematical representation of the tensor product of vector spaces. It is commonly used in physics and engineering to describe relationships between physical quantities or systems. It is written as V ⊗ W = {v ⊗ w | v ∈ V, w ∈ W}, with key properties including bilinearity, associativity, and distributivity. These equations have significant applications in signal processing, control systems, quantum mechanics, and machine learning.

In the first equation on this page,

https://www.physicsforums.com/library.php?do=view_item&itemid=335

is there a loss of generality when there exists a metric tensor, since in that case

[tex]V \otimes V \otimes V^* \neq V \otimes V^* \otimes V,[/tex]

because

[tex]T^{ij}\;_{k} \neq T^{i}\;_{k}\;^{j}.[/tex]

I haven't seen that definition before. It seems weird and awkward compared to the one I'm used to. Also, it says that a vector is a linear function from V to the underlying field, but that would be a covector.
