The integral of an exact differential form over the closed curve is zero by Stokes theorem, so the map is well defined on de Rham cohomology. It is surjective because the angular form has integral . If a closed one-form has zero integral, defineThe zero period makes this definition -periodic, and . Thus the kernel is zero andis an isomorphism.
