The pullback equation for differential forms



September 5, 2012
3:00pm    PGH 646



Abstract
 

An important question in geometry and analysis is to know when two \(k\)-forms \(f\) and \(g\) are equivalent. The problem is therefore to find a map \( arphi\) such that \[ arphi^{\ast} ( g) =f. \] We will mostly discuss the symplectic case \(k=2\) and the case of volume forms \(k=n.\) We will give some results when \(3\leq k\leq n-2,\)  the case \(k=n-1\) will also be considered.
The results have been obtained in collaboration with S. Bandyopadhyay, G. Csato and O. Kneuss and can be found, in part, in the book below.
