Can one use Eigen to perform operations similar to Blitz++ on
multidimensional arrays?
Not currently. Eigen is definitely focused on the cases of 1D
(vectors) and 2D (matrices).
However, as Hauke mentions (but his example is inside out :) ), we
support using Array as Scalar type, e.g.
Matrix<ArrayXd, Dynamic, Dynamic>
will give you a 3D data structure. Currently this isn't well
optimized, and we don't offer a tensor API, but both issues can be
overcome (the speed issue hopefully by the time 3.0 or 3.1 is
released, the tensor API would be a nice extension module).

Only to some extend. It is unlikely that you'll ever be seeing
constructors like
ArrayXXXd m(rows,cols,slices)
but we plan to support (maybe that is already partially working in the
development branch) so called "arrays of structures", i.e.
Array<VectorXd, Rows, Cols>
Our core devs, Benoit& Gael know more.
