Ternary commutator
In mathematical physics, the ternary commutator is an additional ternary operation on a triple system defined by
![{\displaystyle [a,b,c]=abc-acb-bac+bca+cab-cba.\,}](../I/m/3b92cf12d43f3bbbdf4335863769ab48ba6a92b0.svg)
Also called the ternutator or alternating ternary sum, it is a special case of the n-commutator for n = 3, whereas the 2-commutator is the ordinary commutator.
