The Neumann Problem

We discuss canonical representations of the de Rham cohomology on a compact manifold with boundary. They are obtained by minimising the energy integral in a Hilbert space of differential forms that belong along with the exterior derivative to the domain of the adjoint operator. The corresponding Euler- Lagrange equations reduce to an elliptic boundary value problem on the manifold, which is usually referred to as the Neumann problem after Spencer

AbstractWe establish a formula for the variation of integrals of differential forms on cubic chains in the context of diffeological spaces. Then we establish the diffeological version of Stokes’ theorem, and we apply that to get the diffeological variant of the Cartan–Lie formula. Still in the context of Cartan–De Rham calculus in diffeology, we construct a chain-homotopy operator K, and we apply it here to get the homotopic invariance of De Rham cohomology for diffeological spaces. This is the chain-homotopy operator that is used in symplectic diffeology to construct the moment map.

Abstract.Consider the complex of differential forms on an open affine subvariety U of AN with differential where d is the usual exterior derivative and ø is a fixed 1-form on U. For certain U and ø, we compute the cohomology of this complex.

Grothendieck has proved that each class in the de Rham cohomology of a smooth complex affine variety can be represented by a differential form with polynomial coefficients. We prove a single exponential bound on the degrees of these polynomials for varieties of arbitrary dimension. More precisely, we show that the [Formula: see text]th de Rham cohomology of a smooth affine variety of dimension [Formula: see text] and degree [Formula: see text] can be represented by differential forms of degree [Formula: see text]. This result is relevant for the algorithmic computation of the cohomology, but is also motivated by questions in the theory of ordinary differential equations related to the infinitesimal Hilbert 16th problem.

De Rham

The de Rham theorem gives a natural isomorphism between De Rham cohomology and singular cohomology on a paracompact differentiable manifold. We proved this theorem on a wider family of subsets of Euclidean space, on which we can define inner differentiability. Here we define this family of sets called tangentially locally linearly independent sets, propose inner differentiability on them, postulate usual properties of differentiable real functions and show that the integration over sets that are wider than manifolds is possible.
