Conjugations #
This file defines the grade reversal and grade involution functions on multivectors, reverse
and
involute
.
Together, these operations compose to form the "Clifford conjugate", hence the name of this file.

Statements about conjugations of products of lists #
Taking the reverse of the product a list of $n$ vectors lifted via ι
is equivalent to
taking the product of the reverse of that list.
Taking the involute of the product a list of $n$ vectors lifted via ι
is equivalent to
premultiplying by ${-1}^n$.
Statements about Submodule.map
and Submodule.comap
#
Like Submodule.map_mul
, but with the multiplication reversed.
Like Submodule.map_pow
