Higher dimensional de Rham Theorem
Higher dimensional de Rham Theorem
Let be a smooth manifold, let , and let denote the space of homotopy-invariant higher-dimensional iterated integrals of length at most on based -loops. Let , and let be the subgroup generated by the images of all maps
where ranges over and . Let be the augmentation ideal of the group ring . Higher dimensional de Rham Theorem. Iterated integration gives an isomorphism
This conjecture extends Chen's de Rham theorem from one-dimensional loops to higher-dimensional membranes. The paper introduces the higher-dimensional iterated integrals and establishes their basic properties, but the proposed isomorphism is not proved in the supplied text.
