Tldr We introduce a virtual element framework for differential forms on general polytopal meshes in arbitrary dimension and order using recursive local Hodge-Laplace boundary value problems to define trimmed and complete complexes with computable polynomial projections, canonical interpolants commuting with the exterior derivative, negative-norm inverse estimates, mesh-uniform norm equivalences, interpolation error bounds, discrete Poincar'e inequalities, and inf-sup stability.
