I'm trying to work out that [itex]d^{2}=0[/itex] for any form, by applying it to a vierbein field [itex]e^{a}_{μ}[/itex], so for the first exterior derivative I get [itex](de)_{μ\nu}=∂_{μ}e_{\nu}-∂_{\nu}e_{μ}[/itex] (ignoring the differentials for now). Now here is where I get stuck. When you apply d again to this, I have no idea which indices to switch around, or moreover, what it even looks like. Could anyone help me on this?
