Let Un be an n-dimensional unitary space with inner product (u, v). For vectors u1, . . . , ur ∊ Un, r ≤ n, let denote the Grassmann exterior product (4) of the ut; it is a vector in Um where m = nCr. If also , then is the determinant of the r X r matrix If A is a linear transformation of Un to itself, the rth compound of A is defined by
