De Rham's theorem for top-forms in manifolds with boundary

In page 79 of Bott-Tu, "Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology", they define the relative de Rham theory as follows: Let $f:S\to M$ be a smooth map. Define the complex $\Omega^*(f)$ by $$\Omega^k(f) …

De Rham's theorem for top-forms in manifolds with boundary

It is indeed true that $H^n(M)=0$ if $M$ is a compact manifold with boundary. In particular, $H^n(M,\partial M)\cong\mathbb{R}$ by Lefschetz duality (as Chris Gerig mentioned) and the integral (1) is …
