Abstract:
We present several explicit systems of equations defining exterior square of the general linear group $\wedge^2\mathrm{GL}_n$ as an affine group scheme. Algebraic ingredients of the equations, exterior numbers, are translated into the language of weight diagrams corresponding to Lie groups of type $A_{n-1}$ in representation with the highest weight $\varpi_2$.
Key words and phrases:general linear group, weight diagrams, exterior square.
