Abstract: We present boundary-integral equations for Maxwell-type problems in a differential-form setting. Maxwell-type problems are governed by the differential equation $(deltamathrmd-k^2)omega=0$, where $kinmathbbC$ holds, subject to some restrictions. This problem class generalizes $extbfcurl,extbfcurl$- and $mathrmdiv,extbfgrad$-types of problems in three dimensions. The goal of the paper is threefold: 1) Establish the Sobolev-space framework in the full generality of differential-form calculus on a smooth manifold of arbitrary dimension and with Lipschitz boundary. 2) Introduce integral transformations and fundamental solutions, and derive a representation formula for Maxwell-type problems. 3) Leverage the power of differential-form calculus to gain insight into properties and inherent symmetries of boundary-integral equations of Maxwell-type.
