Talk:Hodge dual

What to do with this page

After all this time I'm still not sure what this is supposed to be. As written it seems to me like it's just the hodge star operator, so why give such an obscenely convoluted definition instead of just saying that? – Sintel🎏 (talk) 17:53, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Ok, did a rewrite. Let me know what you think. – Sintel🎏 (talk) 20:20, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Is Sintel talking to himself? -- VectorGraphics (talk) 21:36, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

I'll have to since nobody else replied. – Sintel🎏 (talk) 21:48, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Computation

Who came up with the algorithm given in the computation section? I can not find any reference to it online. I'm only familiar with the usual basis permutation sign approach.

I checked for a number of low-dimensional cases that it does indeed give the correct result. I'd like a reference or explanation of how it works.

I kind of understand it now, the key is to get a proper inversion count using triangular numbers. I still don't know where it comes from though. The explanation is a bit convoluted and not exactly relevant here, so preferably it would still just be a reference, I'll try to hunt down some literature. – Sintel🎏 (talk) 11:38, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
