D.3.1.31 exteriorPower

Procedure from library matrix.lib (see matrix_lib).

Usage:
exteriorPower(A, k); A module, k int

Return:
module: the k-th exterior power of A

Note:
the chosen bases and most of intermediate data will be shown if printlevel is big enough. Last rows will be invisible if zero.

Example:
 
LIB "matrix.lib";
ring r = (0),(a, b, c, d, e, f), dp;
r; "base ring:";
==> // coefficients: QQ
==> // number of vars : 6
==> //        block   1 : ordering dp
==> //                  : names    a b c d e f
==> //        block   2 : ordering C
==> base ring:
