Let $X$ be a compact, oriented, Riemannian $n$-fold. Then we have a Laplacian operator $\Delta = d d^{\ast} + d^{\ast} d$ from $\Omega^k(X)$ to itself. We have the Hodge decomposition $\Omega^k(X) = \...

For the open manifold like $X\times \mathbb R$ or $X\times \mathbb R^+$, where $X$ is a closed manifold. Is there any decomposition like (Hodge Decomposition) of the Differential forms on it.

I'm just looking for some quick and dirty intuition(and/or reading material) about the following: I read that Hodge duality provides a way to interchange the p-Laplacian $ \Delta_p = \nabla\cdot( |\...

I have a way to calculate the connection 1-form $\alpha$ associated to a compact simply connected parallelizable Riemannian surface $(M,g)$ (so, $M$ is topologically a disk) and a special orthonormal ...
