Wedge product/Universal property/Fact/Proof
< Wedge product < Universal property < Fact
Proof
We use the notation from fact. The assignment
defines, due to fact, a -linear mapping
As is multilinear and alternating, sends the linear subspace to . According to fact, there exists a -linear mapping
which is compatible with .
The uniqueness follows from the fact that the form a
generating system
of , and these have to be sent to .
