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

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