Alternatization and reindexing of arguments #

Alternatizing a multilinear map commutes with reindexing its arguments along an equivalence e : ι ≃ ι': (m.domDomCongr e).alternatization = m.alternatization.domDomCongr e. The two signed permutation sums are matched by conjugating permutations of ι by e, which preserves their signs. This is how a wedge product defined by alternatizing over Fin (k + l) is compared with AlternatingMap.domCoprod, which lives on Fin k ⊕ Fin l.
