See the following description given on <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodge_star_operator>:

In mathematics, the Hodge star operator or Hodge star is a linear map defined on the exterior algebra of a finite-dimensional oriented vector space endowed with a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form. Applying the operator to an element of the algebra produces the Hodge dual of the element. This map was introduced by W. V. D. Hodge.

The noun phrase used in the first sentence, i.e., the following one is very long:

a linear map defined on the exterior algebra of a finite-dimensional oriented vector space endowed with a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form.

Any hints of the rewriting/touch up/comments on it will be highly appreciated.

Although long it seems to be clearly set out.

As long as the reader knows the meaning of the various terms, I would say that it is fine.
