[edit] Canonical bundle

I have just one question: canonical bundle is defined as the n-th exterior power of the contangent space, would it not be more aproppriate to define the pseudoscalar as element of the n-th exterior power of the tangent (vector) space? Probably its the same, I m just confused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.113.34.69 (talk) 14:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I had written a lengthy post about confusion with the "dual" to which the writer refers. It turns out it's the Hodge dual. It's not as simple as popping in a single word, so I'll try to edit it in, adjusting as little as possible, but preserving the mathematical precision, tomorrow afternoon.
