differential 1 - form of $omega$












0












$begingroup$


Let $omega$ be a differential form.
$$omega = dfrac{xdywedge dz + ydzwedge dx + zdxwedge dy}{(x^2 + y^2+ z^2)^{3/2}}$$
1)Find $domega$.



2)show that exist 1-form $theta$ such that $dtheta = omega$ in half-space $z>0$.



3) Show that doesn't exist 1-form $theta$ such that $dtheta = omega$ in $ mathbb R^3 setminus{0} $



I found $domega$, it equals zero, but i have no idea how to show in 2) and 3). Can you help me with this?

          2) You have shown in the first question that $omega$ is closed, whence using Poincaré's lemma, it is exact on each contractible subsets of $mathbb{R}^3$ on which $omega$ is defined, such that the half-space $z>0$, since it is convex.



          3) If $omega$ were exact on $mathbb{R}^3setminus{0}$, using Stokes' theorem, its integral on $S^2$ would be zero, since $S^2$ has no boundary, but it is equal to $4pi$.



          I feel a bit guilty about not computing this integral, so let's do it:
          $$begin{align}int_{S^2}omega&=int_{S^2}x,mathrm{d}ywedgemathrm{d}z+y,mathrm{d}zwedgemathrm{d}x+z,mathrm{d}xwedge mathrm{d}y,tag{1}\tag{2}&=int_{B^3}mathrm{d}(x,mathrm{d}ywedgemathrm{d}z+y,mathrm{d}zwedgemathrm{d}x+z,mathrm{d}xwedgemathrm{d}y),\tag{3}&=3int_{B^3}mathrm{d}xwedgemathrm{d}ywedgemathrm{d}z,\&=4pi.tag{4}end{align}$$
          Here are the steps behing each equality:





          • $(1)$: $omega_{vert S^2}=x,mathrm{d}ywedgemathrm{d}z+y,mathrm{d}zwedgemathrm{d}x+z,mathrm{d}xwedgemathrm{d}y$, since $x^2+y^2+z^2=1$ for $(x,y,z)in S^2$,


          • $(2)$: Stokes' theorem on $B^3$, noticing that $partial B^3=S^2$,


          • $(3)$: $mathrm{d}(x,mathrm{d}ywedgemathrm{d}z+y,mathrm{d}zwedgemathrm{d}x+z,mathrm{d}xwedgemathrm{d}y)=3,mathrm{d}xwedgemathrm{d}ywedgemathrm{d}z$, using standard properties of the wedge product and the exterior derivative,


          • $(4)$: $mathrm{d}xwedgemathrm{d}ywedgemathrm{d}z$ is the Lebesgue measure on $mathbb{R}^3$ and the Lebesgue measure of $B^3$ is $4pi/3$.


          I hope that everything is crystal clear.
