Antisymmetric gradient matrix?

[scoobmx]

Does this operator (in 3D):

[tex]ε_{ijk}∇_k = \begin{pmatrix}
0 & \frac{\partial}{\partial z} & -\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\\
-\frac{\partial}{\partial z} & 0 & \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\\
\frac{\partial}{\partial y} & -\frac{\partial}{\partial x} & 0
\end{pmatrix}[/tex]

have a formal name and a more compact symbolic representation?

That gives you the curl in 3-D.

It gives you an analogue of the curl in other dimensions. I don't know how much more compact than ##\epsilon_{ijk}\nabla_k## you wanted, but I am not aware of any more compact forms.
