Abstract

We consider injectivity and surjectivity of some maps on the exterior algebra of isomorphic finite-dimensional vector spaces. We prove the properties of the maps in full generality, for any dimension of the vector space and any subspace. We also draw a connection with the Palatini-Cartan formulation of General Relativity, for which these maps are of crucial importance.
