The asciidoc quotes ^ and ~ only generate the single level HTML sup and sub entities. The syntax of quotes is not designed to nest the same quote type, in fact http://asciidoc.org/userguide.html#X51 under "Quoted Text Behaviour" explicitly says *different* quote types can be nested.
For tensor notation or other advanced math you should use one of the math specific mechanisms http://asciidoc.org/userguide.html#X78.
