Orientations of real inner product spaces.

This file provides definitions and proves lemmas about orientations of real inner product spaces.

Main definitions

• OrthonormalBasis.adjustToOrientation takes an orthonormal basis and an orientation, and returns an orthonormal basis with that orientation: either the original orthonormal basis, or one constructed by negating a single (arbitrary) basis vector.
• Orientation.finOrthonormalBasis is an orthonormal basis, indexed by Fin n, with the given orientation.
• Orientation.volumeForm is a nonvanishing top-dimensional alternating form on an oriented real inner product space, uniquely defined by compatibility with the orientation and inner product structure.

Main theorems

• Orientation.volumeForm_apply_le states that the result of applying the volume form to a set of n vectors, where n is the dimension the inner product space, is bounded by the product of the lengths of the vectors.
• Orientation.abs_volumeForm_apply_of_pairwise_orthogonal states that the result of applying the volume form to a set of n orthogonal vectors, where n is the dimension the inner product space, is equal up to sign to the product of the lengths of the vectors.
