| | NSDL Metadata Record -- Alternating Multilinear Form -- from MathWorld |
 | | An alternating multilinear form on a real vector space V is a multilinear form F:V \otimes \cdots \otimes V \rightarrow \mathbb{R} such that F(x_1, \dots, x_i, x_{i+1}, \dots, x_n) = -F(x_1, \dots, x_{i+1}, x_i, \dots, x_n) for any index i. |
 | | For example, F((a_1,a_2,a_3),(b_1,b_2,b_3),(c_1,c_2,c_3))= a_1 b_2 c_3 -a_1 b_3 c_2 +a_2 b_3 c_1 - a_2 b_1 c_3 + a_3 b_1 c_2 - a_3 b_2 c_1 (3) is an alternating form on \mathbb{R}^3. |
