Abstract
Starting from essentially commutative exponential map E(B|I) for
generic tensor-valued 2-forms B, introduced in [12ak-Akh]
as direct generalization of the ordinary non-commutative P-exponent
for 1-forms with values in matrices (i.e. in tensors of rank 2),
we suggest a non-trivial but multi-parametric exponential
, which can serve as an interesting
multi-directional evolution operator in the case of higher ranks.
To emphasize the most important aspects of the story, construction is
restricted to backgrounds Iijk, associated with the structure
constants of commutative associative algebras, what makes it
unsensitive to topology of the 2d surface.
Boundary effects are also eliminated (straightfoward generalization
is needed to incorporate them).
