Abstract
The classical de Rham sequence on a (smooth, paracompact) manifold provides a connection between solutions of certain differential equations and the topology of the manifold. This paper shows how the relative de Rham sequence for a mapping between manifolds gives a connection between solutions of differential equations and the topology of the fibres of the mapping.Keywords
