Special p-forms are forms which have components φ_{μ_1...μ_p} equal to +1,-1 or 0 in some orthonormal basis. A p-form φ\in Λ^p R^d is called democratic if the set of nonzero components {φ_{μ_1...μ_p}} is symmetric under the transitive action of a subgroup of O(d,Z) on the indices {1,...,d}. Knowledge of these symmetry …
