Antisymmetric gradient matrix?

[scoobmx]

Does this operator (in 3D):

ε_{ijk}∇_k = \begin{pmatrix}<br /> 0 &amp; \frac{\partial}{\partial z} &amp; -\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\\<br /> -\frac{\partial}{\partial z} &amp; 0 &amp; \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\\<br /> \frac{\partial}{\partial y} &amp; -\frac{\partial}{\partial x} &amp; 0<br /> \end{pmatrix}

have a formal name and a more compact symbolic representation?

That gives you the curl in 3-D.

It gives you an analogue of the curl in other dimensions. I don't know how much more compact than $\epsilon_{ijk}\nabla_k$ you wanted, but I am not aware of any more compact forms.
