Wolfe's theorem for differential forms of classes \(W^*_{p,q}\) (Q798991)

A differential k-form \(\omega\) in an open subset U of a Euclidean space is called of class \(W^ k_{p,q}(U)\) if \(\omega\in L^ k_ p(U)\) and \(d\omega\in L_ q^{k+1}(U)\). Here \(\omega\in L^ k_ p(U)\) means that all components of \(\omega\) belong to \(L_ p(U)\). In this paper one proves a version of Wolfe's theorem describing the k-dimensional cochains which are defined by differential forms of class \(W^ k_{p,q}\). The motivation of the paper lies in the problem of H. Whitney and J. Wolfe concerning the characterization of cochains corresponding to differential forms.
