Mar 15, 2023 at 15:07 comment added M.G. @asv: Ah, I see now what you meant. Indeed one has to get the ingredients to establish (1) for concrete cases from elsewhere, so it's not self-contained in that regard. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Mar 15, 2023 at 14:53 comment added asv I am not sure what you mean. I think that Chapter 1 is that book does not develop enough tools to prove Hodge decomposition. Exercise 1.3.15 might be potentially helpful to prove it as it might contain some intermediate steps, but that's all as far I understand. Thank you in any case.
Mar 15, 2023 at 14:09 comment added M.G. @asv: well, it is, but you can ignore the inverse direction, if you are not interested in it. Though I find an equivalence to be a stronger statement and I haven't found anywhere else necessary and sufficient conditions for a Hodge decomposition to hold.
Mar 15, 2023 at 8:53 comment added asv In seems that in the second reference you mentioned Exercise 1.3.15 is not about a proof of the Hodge decomposition, but just an equivalent reformation of it.

added the smooth case
Mar 14, 2023 at 19:26 comment added M.G. @LSpice: I think, that's fine. That way we have both links.
Mar 14, 2023 at 19:23 comment added LSpice Re, if you prefer the link to the free version (I know some people don't like having links to paywalled content in their posts), then please feel free to overwrite my edit. I just like to have some link when possible.
Mar 14, 2023 at 19:15 comment added M.G. @asv: I believe I have seen the Hodge decomposition stated for $\Gamma(E)$, where $E$ is the total vector bundle. Would that work for you? In fact, I think I even remember where.
Mar 14, 2023 at 19:07 comment added asv Thank you. I would prefer to have Hodge decomposition for infinitely smooth sections rather than $L^2$. (Another less important remark is that in the mentioned lecture notes the differential operators have the first order.)
