The exterior derivative $d$ has many very nice algebraic relations. For example 1. $d(\alpha\wedge\beta) = (d\alpha)\wedge \beta + (-1)^k\alpha\wedge(d\beta)$ 2. $f^*(d \alpha)=d f^*(\alpha)$. 1. $d\circ d = 0$ for $\alpha, \beta$ forms on a manifold $V$ and $f:V\rightarrow W$ a smooth map. Let $\delta = \star d \star$ the codifferential, we have $\delta\circ \delta =0$. I wonder if there are other simple and usefull properties as above. For instance can we say anything about $\delta f^*(\alpha)$?
