Degree scaling of an exterior algebra #
For a unit r of the base ring, the scalar multiplication r • id induces an algebra automorphism
of the exterior algebra ⋀ M, which multiplies the n-th exterior power by r ^ n. Conjugating
by it rescales exterior multiplication by ι m by the factor r, rescales every contraction by
the factor r⁻¹, and commutes with the grade involution.
These are the operators that change the normalization of a Fock action: conjugating a Clifford
action on ⋀ W by a degree scaling replaces its creation operators by r times themselves and
its annihilation operators by r⁻¹ times themselves, which preserves every
creation–annihilation anticommutator.

The degree scaling of an exterior algebra by a unit r: the algebra automorphism of
⋀ M induced by the scalar multiplication r • id of M. It multiplies the n-th exterior power
by r ^ n (TauCeti.ExteriorAlgebra.degreeScaling_of_mem_exteriorPower).
