Resolution for exterior power of a quotient

60 Views Asked by At

Let us assume that we have exact sequence of vector spaces:

$$0\to U\to V\to W\to 0.$$

We can think of $0\to U\to V$ as a resolution of $W$.

Can we construct some canonical resolution of $\Lambda^n W$ in terms of some functors (like $\Lambda^ k U, S^l V$) of $U$ and $V$?

For example we have

$$U\otimes \Lambda^{n-1}V\to \Lambda^n V\to \Lambda^n W\to 0$$

is exact. Here the first map is multiplication ant the second is natural projection. Can we extend this sequence to the left?
