 | | \end{equation} Wedge product is associative and skew-commutative: \begin{equation} \label{skew} (\omega^k\wedge\omega^l)\wedge\omega^m = \omega^k\wedge(\omega^l\wedge\omega^m)\,, \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \omega^k\wedge\omega^m = (-)^{km}\,\omega^m\wedge\omega^k\,. |
 | | \end{equation} There is another general formula for $d\omega^k$ which involves the notion of the commutator of vector fields (see (\ref{commut}) below)\,: \begin{multline} \label{d2} d\omega\,(\xi_0,\xi_1,\ldots,\xi_k) = \sum_{i=0}^{k}\,(-)^i\,\xi_i (\omega\,(\xi_0,\ldots,\xi_{i-1},\xi_{i+1},\ldots,\xi_k)) \\ + \sum_{i |
