<p>In <a href="page.php?w=mathematics">mathematics</a> and <a href="page.php?w=theoretical_physics">theoretical physics</a>, a <a href="page.php?w=tensor">tensor</a> is <b>antisymmetric</b> or <b>alternating on</b> (or <b>with respect to</b>) <b>an index subset</b> if it alternates <a href="page.php?w=Sign_%28mathematics%29">sign</a> (+/-) when any two indices of the subset are interchanged. The index subset must generally either be all covariant or all contravariant.</p>

<p>For example,</p>
