In the context of differential forms and exterior calculus, the symbol ∧ represents the wedge product, which is an operation that takes two differential forms and produces a new differential form. This operation is antisymmetric, meaning that swapping the order of the forms changes the sign of the result, allowing for a concise representation of multilinear algebraic structures. The wedge product is fundamental in building higher-degree forms and plays a crucial role in integration on manifolds.
