Skewable matrices over $\wedge^2 V$ applied to locally metric connections

A necessary condition for a connection in a vector bundle to be locally metric is for its curvature matrix, which consists of $2$ forms, to be skew symmetric with respect to some local frame. In this paper we give a simple algorithm that can be used to decide when a matrix of $2$ forms is equivalent to a skew symmetric matrix. We apply this algorithm to verify whether a "{\it full rank}" curvature connection is locally metric.

Musical Modes, Their Associated Chords and Their Musicality

In this paper we present a mathematical way of defining musical modes and we define the musicality of a mode as a product of three different factors. We conclude by classifying the modes which are most musical according to our definition.
