Whitney forms and relative primitives of subanalytic differential forms

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let X be a real-analytic manifold and gcolonXomathbfRn a proper triangulable subanalytic map. Given a subanalytic r-form omega on X whose pull-back to every non singular fiber of g is exact, we show tha omega has a relative primitive: there is a subanalytic (r1)-form Omega such that dgLambda(omegadOmega)=0. The proof uses a subanalytic triangulation to translate the problem in terms of "relative Whitney forms" associated to prisms. Using the combinatorics of Whitney forms, we show that the result ultimately follows from the subanaliticity of solutions of a special linear partial differential equation. The work was inspired by a question of Franc{c}ois Treves.
