Differential formes over the projective real space under a general linear group action (Q1906912): Difference between revisions

It is shown that the only subspaces of the space of \(p\)-forms on the real projective space which are invariant under projective transforms and closed for the \(C^\infty \) topology are the following ones: the zero subspace, the subspace of closed forms, and the space itself. The analogous problem for the sphere is also solved. See also \textit{B. Gruber} and \textit{A. U. Klimyk}, J. Math. Phys. 22, No. 12, 2762-2769 (1981; Zbl 0485.22021), \textit{A.
