Riemannian Geometry
The wedge product is an operation that takes two differential forms and produces a new differential form, specifically an exterior product that encodes information about the orientation and volume in a given space. It is associative, bilinear, and antisymmetric, which means swapping the order of the forms results in a sign change. This product is crucial in the study of differential forms and de Rham cohomology, as it allows for the construction of higher-degree forms from lower-degree ones.
