| Oct 24, 2016 at 8:34 | comment | added | Asaf Shachar | Sorry, I missed this. Is there a simple reason for why every form can be expressed locally as a combintation of closed forms? | |
| Oct 24, 2016 at 8:12 | comment | added | Sebastian | Maybe I could have high-lighten it, but I take $\omega$ to be closed, which is possible. | |
| Oct 24, 2016 at 7:42 | comment | added | Asaf Shachar | If I am not mistaken, there should be additional terms in both your equations, which follow from the Leibnitz rule (and involving the derivatives of $\omega$). | |
