In mathematics , de Rham cohomology (named after Georges de Rham ) is a tool belonging both to algebraic topology and to differential topology , capable of expressing basic topological information about smooth manifolds in a form particularly adapted to computation and the concrete representation of cohomology classes . It is a cohomology theory based on the existence of differential forms with prescribed properties.

This is the situation described in the Poincaré lemma . The idea behind de Rham cohomology is to define equivalence classes of closed forms on a manifold.

Another useful fact is that the de Rham cohomology is a homotopy invariant. While

One then defines the k -th de Rham cohomology group H d R k ( M ) {\displaystyle H_{\mathrm {dR} }^{k}(M)} to be the set of equivalence classes, that is, the set of closed forms in Ω ( M ) modulo the exact forms. Note that, for any manifold M composed of m disconnected components, each of which

1462-404: The image of other forms under the exterior derivative , plus the constant 0 function in Ω ( M ) , are called exact and forms whose exterior derivative is 0 are called closed (see Closed and exact differential forms ); the relationship d = 0 then says that exact forms are closed. In contrast, closed forms are not necessarily exact. An illustrative case is a circle as a manifold, and
1505-441: The manifold, and the de Rham cohomology groups comprise a set of topological invariants of smooth manifolds that precisely quantify this relationship. The de Rham complex is the cochain complex of differential forms on some smooth manifold M , with the exterior derivative as the differential: where Ω ( M ) is the space of smooth functions on M , Ω ( M ) is the space of 1 -forms , and so forth. Forms that are

For example, on a 2 - torus , one may envision a constant 1 -form as one where all of the "hair" is combed neatly in the same direction (and all of the "hair" having the same length). In this case, there are two cohomologically distinct combings; all of the others are linear combinations. In particular, this implies that the 1st Betti number of a 2 -torus is two.
