Exterior Derivative
Linked via "singular cohomology groups"
$$H_{\text{dR}}^k(M) = \frac{\text{ker}(\text{d}: \Omega^k(M) \to \Omega^{k+1}(M))}{\text{im}(\text{d}: \Omega^{k-1}(M) \to \Omega^k(M))} = \frac{\{\omega \mid \text{d}\omega = 0\}}{\{\text{d}\mu \mid \mu \in \Omega^{k-1}(M)\}}$$
For a smooth manifold $M$, the groups $H{\text{dR}}^k(M)$ are isomorphic to the singular cohomology groups $H^k(M; \mathbb{R})$. The persistence of non-trivial cohomology groups (i.e., $H{\text{dR}}^k(M) \neq 0$) signifies global topological features of the [manifold](… -

Cohomology and Invariants
Manifolds are intrinsically tied to algebraic topological invariants derived from cohomology theories. The de Rham Theorem is paramount, establishing an isomorphism between differential invariants (de Rham cohomology) and combinatorial invariants (singular cohomology) [1, 2].
The de Rham cohomology group $H_{\text{dR}}^k(M)$ is defined using differential $k$-forms $\ome…
