4 de Rham s Theorem de Rham s Theorem Suppose M n is a compact, oriented, smooth manifold. Then H p (M; R) = C p (M)/E p (M), where C p (M) is the space of closed p-forms on M and E p (M) is the space of exact p-forms.
5 Riemannian metric If M is Riemannian, the metric induces an L 2 inner product on Ω p (M): ω, η := ω η. M
6 Riemannian metric If M is Riemannian, the metric induces an L 2 inner product on Ω p (M): ω, η := ω η. M When M is closed, the orthogonal complement of E p (M) inside C p (M) is H p (M) := {ω Ω p (M) : dω = 0, δω = 0}
7 Riemannian metric If M is Riemannian, the metric induces an L 2 inner product on Ω p (M): ω, η := ω η. M When M is closed, the orthogonal complement of E p (M) inside C p (M) is H p (M) := {ω Ω p (M) : dω = 0, δω = 0} Kodaira called this the space of harmonic p-fields on M.

21 What do the Poincaré duality angles tell you? Guess If M is almost closed, the Poincaré duality angles of M should be small.
22 For example... Consider CP 2 with its usual Fubini-Study metric. Let p CP 2. Then define M r := CP 2 B r (p).
