Formulas for Lie derivative, exterior derivative, brackets, interior and wedge products
For the definitions see:
Lie derivative of forms,
Lie derivative for tensors in general,
interior product,
Lie bracket,
exterior derivative,...
In what follows:
(only 1-forms?) (including functions) (warning: informal notation). It is the same as equation (1.62) in @olver86: . It is related to the following cases: - For a 1-form:
, and with other notation or, in general for a -form, . See @olver86 page 74 exercise 1.35.
- For a 1-form:
- infinitesimal Stokes' theorem
- Cartan formula
, valid for -forms. For vector fields is nothing but Jacobi identity.
