Reason: Update the coordinate expansion theorem to reference the revised wedge-product definition and current associativity result.

Let nNn\in\mathbb{N}, let URnU\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n be \reftext{def:open-subset-euclidean-space-2026a}{open}, let kN{0}k\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}, and let ω\omega be a \reftext{def:differential-k-form-euclidean-open-set-2026a}{differential kk-form} on UU. Then there exist unique real-valued functions

ai1ik:URa_{i_1\dots i_k}:U\to\mathbb{R}

indexed by strictly increasing kk-tuples (i1,,ik)(i_1,\dots,i_k) with 1i1<<ikn1\le i_1<\cdots<i_k\le n such that

ω=1i1<<iknai1ikdxi1dxik,\omega=\sum_{1\le i_1<\cdots<i_k\le n} a_{i_1\dots i_k}\, dx_{i_1}\wedge\cdots\wedge dx_{i_k},

where each dxidx_i is the coordinate 11-form from \ref{def:coordinate-1-form-euclidean-open-set-2026a} and the wedge product is the one from \ref{def:wedge-product-differential-forms-euclidean-2026b}. When k=0k=0, this says that ω\omega is uniquely equal to a real-valued function on UU.
