Abstract. The easiest example of an exterior power of a vector space is the vector space itself, corresponding to the first degree of its exterior algebra. We will show how an exterior power of Kn is a module over the Lie algebra of the Kn×n matrices. To this purpose, we will compute a generating function encoding for the usual multiplication of matrices by vectors and we shall indicated how to perform the same kind of computation for higher exterior powers by using the notion of Schubert derivation. The talk requires a minimum of prerequisites from multilinear algebra.
