A differential $k$-form on $\mathbb{R}^n$: a map from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to the space of continuous alternating $k$-multilinear forms on $\mathbb{R}^n$.
Instances For
Pointwise addition gives DiffForm n k the structure of an additive abelian group.
A differential form is smooth ($C^\infty$) when its coefficient map is infinitely differentiable as a function $\mathbb{R}^n \to (\mathbb{R}^n)^{[\Lambda^k]\to \mathbb{R}}$.
Instances For
Smoothness is preserved under subtraction: $a, b \in C^\infty \Rightarrow a - b \in C^\infty$.
A family of nonnegative Sobolev seminorms indexed by regularity index $s \in \mathbb{N}$, acting on differential $(k+1)$-forms.
Instances For
The form $\xi$ has Sobolev regularity of order $s$ when $\|\xi\|_s$ is bounded by some constant. (Trivially holds in this framework but records the membership in $H^s$ qualitatively.)
Instances For
A smoothing (regularity-improving) operator: it gains one derivative in the Sobolev scale and maps anything with finite Sobolev regularity into the smooth class $C^\infty$.

Instances For
A concrete parametrix for an elliptic operator $L$: an approximate inverse $P$ with $P \circ L = \mathrm{Id} + S$ for a smoothing remainder $S$. This is the key analytic input for the elliptic regularity theorem $L\xi \in C^\infty \Rightarrow \xi \in C^\infty$.
