Harmonic one-forms are parallel under nonnegative Ricci curvature

ID: harmonic-one-forms-are-parallel-under-nonnegative-ricci-curvature

On a closed Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, integration of the Bochner-Weitzenbock formula for one-forms for a harmonic one-form gives
Both terms are nonnegative, so . Riemannian volume density makes the argument valid even without orientation.
