SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the topic of tensor antisymmetrization, specifically seeking examples beyond the common two one-forms, such as A_{[\mu}B_{\nu]}. The user requests more complex examples like A_{[\mu\nu}B_{\sigma \rho]} and A_{[\mu}B_{\sigma \rho]}. A helpful resource was identified, specifically a link to Physics Stack Exchange, which provides the necessary notation and examples for antisymmetric tensors.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of tensor notation and operations
  • Familiarity with antisymmetric tensors
  • Basic knowledge of differential forms
  • Experience with mathematical physics or related fields
NEXT STEPS
  • Study advanced examples of tensor antisymmetrization
  • Explore the properties of antisymmetric tensors in theoretical physics
  • Review lecture notes on differential forms and their applications
  • Investigate additional resources on tensor calculus
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in theoretical physics, mathematicians specializing in tensor analysis, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of antisymmetric tensors.

Hi everyone,

All the books I have read until this moment only give an example of two one-forms antissymetrization, like A_{[\mu}B_{\nu]} but I want some examples like A_{[\mu\nu}B_{\sigma \rho]} or A_{[\mu}B_{\sigma \rho]}Does someone know a book or lecture notes that teach this or just can write this examples here?

Thanks, robphy! The second link has exactly what I was looking for :)
