How to make my equation fancier?

Hello!
I hope I am posting this in the right thread!
As I was solving a problem in general relativity, my final answer needs to get a little fancier. So my final answer was as follows: $$ (\bar{U}{U})^3 (\epsilon_{ijk} \frac{d\omega^i}{dx^k} \theta^k) \wedge (\epsilon_{ijk} \frac{d\omega^i}{dx^k} \theta^k) $$ But if my theta's are equal to one another they will eat themselves out. This mean for example $$(\theta^1 \wedge \theta^1 = 0)$$ So I don't know if using some neat maths trick I can write out my final answer without the need to put a note of what I just wrote. How to make the equation speak for itself?

Thank you!

You need to rename some dummy indices in the second factor so that each index is repeated only twice. Then use

$$\varepsilon_{abc} \varepsilon_{ade} = \delta^{bc}_{de} = \delta^b_d \delta^c_e - \delta^c_d \delta^b_e$$
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
