Let be the sheaf of closed holomorphic one-forms, namely . The local exactness proved in part (b) gives the short exact sequence of sheavesIts long exact sequence in sheaf cohomology beginsThe first arrow is an isomorphism: on a compact complex manifold, a global holomorphic function is constant on each connected component, just as a global section of the constant sheaf is. Thus is injective. By part (c), every global holomorphic differential form of degree one is closed, so .
Concretely, for a holomorphic differential form of degree one choose local holomorphic primitives . The connecting class is represented by the locally constant Čech cocycle on overlaps. The following arrow is induced by the inclusion of the constant sheaf into the sheaf of holomorphic functions. Exactness is inherited from the long exact sequence, giving
