Real structure of the SU4 exterior square

ID: real-structure-of-the-su4-exterior-square

On , the invariant Hermitian form and volume tensor define the displayed antilinear map with square one, commuting with SU(4). Its fixed space satisfies , , and . Three complex choices give six real coordinates, and this fixed space has the original exterior square as its complexification. It is therefore a real representation of dimension six, rather than merely the twelve-dimensional realification of an arbitrary six-dimensional complex representation.
