Hodge decomposition of smooth n-forms: is it an isomorphism of topological vector spaces?
Fix a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ (leaving the metric implicit). What I'd like to know is if the corresponding Hodge decomposition of smooth $n$-forms
$$
\Omega^n(M) \simeq \mathcal{H}^n(M)\oplus ...

Codifferential of wedge of two 1-forms
Let $\omega,\eta$ be two 1-forms on a manifold $M$. I'm interested in an expression for
$$
\delta(\omega\wedge\eta)
$$
where $\delta$ is the co-differential operator $\Lambda^2(M)\to\Lambda^1(M)$. ...

Tischler's Theorem on nonvanishing $1$-forms on open manifolds
I have been trying to find a generalized version of the following theorem due to D. Tischler,
Theorem 1. Let $M^n$ be a closed $n$-dimensional manifold. SUppose $M^n$ admits a nonvanishing closed $1$-...
