A smooth complex-valued $k$-form on $M$ modelled on $\mathbb{C}^n$: a pointwise alternating $\mathbb{C}$-multilinear $k$-form on $\mathbb{C}^n$.
Instances For
Pointwise additive group structure on smooth $k$-forms.
Pointwise $\mathbb{C}$-module structure on smooth $k$-forms.
Bochner integral $\int_M f \, d\mu$ of a complex-valued function against a measure $\mu$.
Instances For
Wedge product of smooth forms: $\alpha \wedge \beta$ takes a $k$-form and an $l$-form to a $(k+l)$-form.
Instances For
Hodge star operator $\ast : \Omega^k \to \Omega^{2n-k}$ on smooth forms on an $n$-complex- dimensional (real $2n$) manifold. On Kähler manifolds it restricts to $\bigwedge^{p,q} \to \bigwedge^{n-q, n-p}$.
Instances For
Pointwise complex conjugation $\bar{\alpha}$ of a smooth $k$-form.
Instances For
$L^2$ inner product of smooth $k$-forms: $\langle \alpha, \beta \rangle = \int_M \alpha \wedge \ast \bar{\beta}$.
Instances For
Exterior derivative $d : \Omega^k \to \Omega^{k+1}$ on smooth complex forms.
Instances For
Codifferential $d^\ast : \Omega^{k+1} \to \Omega^k$, the formal $L^2$-adjoint of $d$.
Instances For
Hodge–de Rham Laplacian $\Delta = d d^\ast + d^\ast d$ acting on $k$-forms.
Instances For
The Laplacian annihilates the zero form: $\Delta 0 = 0$.
A $k$-form $\alpha$ is harmonic iff $\Delta \alpha = 0$.
Instances For
Hodge decomposition: on a compact complex manifold, every smooth $(k+1)$-form decomposes uniquely as $\alpha = h + d\beta + d^\ast \gamma$ with $h$ harmonic.
