Let be a Lie algebra. The codifferential of monomial bi-vectors and tri-vectors on is defined by
|
and .
The formula for a general monomial multi-vector is
where the barred vectors are omitted from the wedge product. A general multi-vector of degree is a superposition of monomials of degree . The definition of the codifferential is extended to all multi-vectors by linearity.

Let be a representation of on a vector space For and , write For multi-vectors with coefficients in , the above formulas for the codifferential are amended to
|
,
and, in general,
Again, these definitions are extended to all multi-vectors by linearity.

The command Codifferential computes the codifferential of a multi-vector . Note that if has degree , then has degree

The co-differential satisfies It commutes with the Lie derivative Z and satisfies, for any vector ,
