Using connection form for unknown frame field

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 ...

A Green's function for the Laplacian on k-forms

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) = \...

Hodge decomposition on open manifold

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.
