Dominated splitting for exterior powers and singular hyperbolicity

We relate dominated splitting for a linear multiplicative cocyle with dominated splitting for the exterior powers of this cocycle. For a C1 vector field X on a 3-manifold, we can obtain singular-hyperbolicity using only the tangent map DX of X and a family of indefinite and non-degenerate quadratic forms without using the associated flow X_t and its derivative DX_t. As a consequence, we show the existence of adapted metrics for singular-hyperbolic sets for three-dimensional C1 vector fields.
