Is the evaluation map from harmonic forms on the torus surjective on flat neighbourhoods?
In a nutshell:
Given a metric on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, can we extend any element $\sigma \in \bigwedge^k T_p^*\mathbb{T}^n$ to a global harmonic form?
Let $\mathbb{T}^n$ be the $n$-Torus. Fix ...

Obstructions for the wedge of coordinate differentials to be harmonic
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold, $d$ even. Are there obstructions (I guess in terms of curvature) for $g$ to have the following property:
For every $p \in M$ there exist a ...
