Vector product for higher dimensions than 3?
I know that the vector product (for
) is defined in a way so that a orthogonal vector is produced from two original vectors. In
you can't create a vector
orthogonal to two linear independent vectors. On the other hand, you can if you only have one vector from the beginning. In
, you can if you have 3 linear independent vectors from the beginning (you'll get a line of possible vectors contrary to if you only have 2 vectors to perform the multiplication with, then you'll get a plane).
Is there some kind of general vector product for
vectors in
? (this would be almost the same as a method for obtaining a vector orthogonal to the other vectors.)
