This is not what Daniel wrote. He used »+«.

No. The inner product is a scalar, not a new vector as above.

No. The tensor product of two vectors is a tensor, not a vector.
(A tensor also is a vector, but of another space.)

Possible, but unlikely, because this only is defined in certain
vector spaces, for example, in R³, but not R4.

No. There is no »carthesian product« and there is no
»cartesian product« of vectors.

Showing your admiration of someone by addressing him in
uppercase (as in »hallowed be Thy name«) is not usual in
technical newsgroups.
Daniel used »+«. /You/ were the one who started to use »*«.
