Suppose we give $V$ an orthonormal basis $e_1,ldots,e_n$, and let $v=sum_I v_I e_I $ and $w=sum_J w_J e_J$, then
begin{align}
|vwedge w|^2& =left| sum_{I,J}v_I w_J e_Iwedge e_Jright |^2
=left| sum_K sum_{K=Isqcup J} (pm1)v_I w_J e_Kright |^2 \
&le sum_K left| sum_{K=Isqcup J} |v_I w_J| right|^2 \
&le sum_Kleft( sum_{Isubset K} |v_I|^2right)
left( sum_{Jsubset K} |w_J|^2right)
end{align}

which is unfortunately more than $|v|^2|w|^2$. Is there any way the statement can be salvaged?

  • I think the notation fails to make clear exactly what you are summing over; the outer sum is over $p+q$ sets $K$, but the inner one is over $p$-sets $I$ and by defintion $J=Ksetminus I$ - as written it looks as though both sums are over $K$.

  • I don't get the first inequality: it seems to me to say that the square of a sum is less than the sum of squares.
