Poisson equation for differential forms

ID: poisson-equation-for-differential-forms

This Poisson equation uses the Hodge Laplacian on differential forms. On a closed Riemannian manifold, the obstruction to solving it is the component of the source along harmonic differential forms. The Green operator of the Hodge Laplacian supplies a solution when that component vanishes.
