Abstract. The generalization of the n-dimensional cube, an n-dimensional chain, the exterior derivative and the integral of a differential n-form on it are introduced and investigated. The analogue of Stokes theorem for the differential space is given.
IntroductionThis article is the fifth of the series of papers concerning integration of differential forms and densities on differential spaces. We describe our generalization of the theory of integration of smooth skew-symmetric forms on cubes and chains.In Section 2, we present definition and properties of so called point differential forms on differential spaces. We prove the theorem about the local representation of such forms (Theorem 1). Section 3 of the paper contains basic definitions and the description of preliminary facts concerning generalized cubes and chains. We define the notion of a generalized ndimensional smooth cube on the differential space pM, Cq, the notion of a smooth n-dimensional chain of generalized smooth cubes on pM, Cq and the integral of a smooth point n-form on a smooth n-dimensional chain. In Section 4, we prove the existence of integrals for a wide class of smooth chains and skew-symmetric forms. To formulate these results we introduce the classes of cubes, chains and point forms smoothly extendable with respect to the family G of generators of a differential structure C on a set M . At the end of the paper we give an analogue of Stokes theorem in the case of smoothly extendable forms and chains (Theorem 3). To do that, we introduce the boundary of generalized n-dimensional chain (Definition 13).Without any other explanation we use the following symbols: N -the set of natural numbers; Q -the set of rational numbers; R -the set of reals.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 58A40, 26A18.
