About: Homological integration

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In the mathematical fields of differential geometry and geometric measure theory, homological integration or geometric integration is a method for extending the notion of the integral to manifolds. Rather than functions or differential forms, the integral is defined over currents on a manifold. Under this duality pairing, the exterior derivative goes over to a boundary operator defined by for all α ∈ Ωk. This is a homological rather than cohomological construction.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • In the mathematical fields of differential geometry and geometric measure theory, homological integration or geometric integration is a method for extending the notion of the integral to manifolds. Rather than functions or differential forms, the integral is defined over currents on a manifold. The theory is "homological" because currents themselves are defined by duality with differential forms. To wit, the space Dk of k-currents on a manifold M is defined as the dual space, in the sense of distributions, of the space of k-forms Ωk on M. Thus there is a pairing between k-currents T and k-forms α, denoted here by Under this duality pairing, the exterior derivative goes over to a boundary operator defined by for all α ∈ Ωk. This is a homological rather than cohomological construction. (en)
