For example, saying that $T$ is a k-tensor one might see $T\in 3^k(V)$, of course it's not actually a 3. It looks somewhat like Fraktur font Z: $\frak{Z}$. I couldn't detexify it, and it doesn't appear to be a standard notation for the set of tensors. Other resources seem to just use $T$.
In tensor notation in Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds, what is that character that looks like a 3?

As far as I can tell, it's fraktur I: $\mathfrak{I}$. I don't think this is standard.

I always thought it was a script T, as is used in John Lee's "Introduction to Smooth Manifolds" (though admittedly for tensor fields).

0It doesn't look like \mathfrak{T} or \mathcal{T}. But I guess these things aren't necessarily set in stone. – 2010-12-19

0Isn't there a \mathscr font? Maybe it's \mathscr{T}? – 2010-12-19
