Integration on chains
1. If ω ∈ Λn (V ) is the volume element determined by T and µ, and w1 , . . . , wn ∈ V , then
show that q
ω(w1 , . . . , wn ) = det(gij ),
where gij = T (wi , wj ).
2. If ω ∈ Λn (V ) is the volume element determined by T and µ, and f : Rn → V is an
isomorphism such that f ∗ T = h, i and [f (e1 ), . . . , f (en )] = µ, then show that f ∗ ω = det.
3. Show that every non-zero ω ∈ Λn (V ) is the volume element determined by some inner
product T and orientation µ for V .
4. If w1 , . . . , wn−1 ∈ Rn−1 , then show that
q
|w1 × . . . × wn−1 | = det(gij ),

where gij = hwi , wj i.


5. If f : U → Rn be a differentiable function with a differentiable inverse f −1 : f (U ) → Rn .
If every closed form on U is exact, show that the same is true for f (U ).
6. For R > 0 and n ∈ Z, define a singular 1-cube CR,n : [0, 1] → R2 − {0} by CR,n (t) =
(R cos(2πnt), R sin(2πnt)). Then prove the following statements.
(a) There is a singular 2-cube c : [0, 1]2 → R2 − {0} such that CR1 ,n − CR2 ,n = ∂c.
(b) CR,n dθ = 2πn and that there exists no 2-chain c in R2 − {0} such that CR,n = ∂c.

[Hint: Use Stokes’ Theorem.]


7. If c is a singular 1-cube in R2 − {0} with c(0) = c(1), show that there is a unique integer n
such that c − c1,n = ∂c2 for some 2-chain c2 . (The integer n is called the winding number
of c around 0.)
8. If ω is a 1-form f dx on [0, 1] with f (0) = f (1), show that there exists a unique number λ
such that ω − λdx = dg for some g with g(0) = g(1).
9. If ω is a 1-form on R2 − {0} such that dω = 0, prove that ω = λdθ + dg, for some λ ∈ R
and g : R2 − {0} → R.
