Abstract

We give the definition of a duality that is applicable to arbitrary kk-forms. The operator that defines the duality depends on a fixed form Ω\Omega. Our definition extends in a very natural way the Hodge duality of nn-forms in 2n2n dimensional spaces and the generalized duality of two-forms. We discuss the properties of the duality in the case where Ω\Omega is invariant with respect to a subalgebra of so(V)\mathfrak{so}(V). Furthermore, we give examples for the invariant case as well as for the case of discrete symmetry.
