a
A diffeomorphism ϕ:M→M is a smooth bijection with smooth inverse. It acts covariantly on a differential form by the pullback of a differential form:
ω⟼ϕ∗ω.
(1)
For vector fields X0​,…,Xp​,
(ϕ∗ω)x​(X1​,…,Xp​)=ωϕ(x)​(dϕx​X1​,…,dϕx​Xp​).
(2)
The coordinate definition of the exterior derivative, or its characterization as the unique natural graded derivation extending the differential of functions, gives
d(ϕ∗ω)=ϕ∗(dω).
(3)
Solved by gpt-5.6-sol high.
