# Wedge product of one-forms [closed]

I want to check my hand calculations of wedge products of 1-forms such as

yz dx and sin(z) dx


I see that

Wedge


has no built-in meaning. Should I try to define

Wedge


myself?

I want to use symbols to refer to 1-forms, perhaps a list

phi = {y*z, 0, x}
psi = {z, x, 0}


for yz dx + x dz and z dx+x dy respectively.

Then I want to manipulate them using the operator

Wedge[phi,psi]

• It is safe to define Wegde, if that's what you're asking (unclear what the question is). It has not built-in meaning. – Szabolcs Jul 12 '18 at 17:52
• Your question may be put on-hold because it's not clear what you need. To avoid or revert the Hold you can edit your question to improve it and make it specific, well structured and easy to understand. Please don't be discouraged by that cleaning-up policy. Your questions are and will be most welcomed. Learn about good questions here. – rhermans Jul 12 '18 at 18:31
• Have you tried the array-based approach of TensorWedge[phi, psi] ? This is a representation of the algebraic part of exterior calculus, but not the differential part. – jose Jul 12 '18 at 21:44
• Another possibility is to use an external package for full exterior calculus, like xact.es/xTerior , where Wedge does have the meaning you need. See examples in the xTeriorDoc.nb file in that page. – jose Jul 12 '18 at 21:44
