    First, the authors describe the decomposition of the exterior bundle of a quaternion-Kähler manifold, which is analogous to the LePage decomposition on a Kähler manifold. Then they introduce natural algebraic and differential operators on this bundle and study their behaviour with respect to such decomposition. Finally, they prove the main result of the paper which states that any Killing \(p\)-form on a compact quaternion-Kähler manifold is parallel for \(p\geq 2\).
