A fermionic analogue of the Hodge star operation is shown to have an explicit operator representation in models with fermions, in space–times of any dimension. This operator realizes a conjugation (pairing) not used explicitly in field theory, and induces a metric in the space of wave function(al)s just as in exterior calculus. If made real (hermitian), this induced metric turns out to be identical to the standard one constructed using hermitian conjugation; the utility of the induced complex bilinear form remains unclear.

AbstractThe Poincaré map of mixed exterior algebra generalizes the Hodge star operator and it plays a central rôle in the proofs of many classical identities of linear algebra. The principal purpose of this paper is to derive a new formula for it. This formula is useful in circumstances when the definition is too implicit. Several applications are discussed.

The main purpose of this work is to provide application of differential forms in physics. For this purpose, we describe differential forms, exterior algebra in details and then we express Maxwell’s equations by using differential forms. In the theory of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds there will be an important operator, called Hodge Star Operator. Hodge Star Operator arises in the coordinate free formulation of Maxwell’s equation in flat space-time. This operator is an important ingredient in the formulation of Stoke’stheorem.GANIT J.

(Anti-)self-dual metrics are 4-dimensional Riemannian metrics whose Weyl conformai tensor W half vanishes. The Weyl conformai tensor W of an arbitrary metric on an oriented 4-manifold has in general the self-dual part W+ and the anti-self-dual part W− with respect to the Hodge star operator * and one says that a metric is self-dual or anti-self-dual if W− = 0 or W+ = 0, respectively.
