If a tensor ω is alternating, then applying the Alt mapping results in Alt(ω) = ω. The discussion posits that the converse is also true: if Alt(ω) = ω, then ω must be an alternating tensor. This implies that the conditions for a tensor being alternating are equivalent to the result of applying the Alt mapping. The participants agree that if ω equals its Alt mapping, it confirms its status as an alternating tensor. Thus, the relationship between the Alt mapping and alternating tensors is established as bidirectional.

If \omega is an alternating tensor, then Alt(\omega)=\omega, where Alt is the mapping that maps any tensor to an alternating tensor.

I guess the converse is also true, i.e., if Alt(\omega)=\omega, then \omega must be an alternating tensor. Am I right?

If you have w=Alt(w), and Alt(w) is an alternating tensor...
