Abstract

Let f,g:MNf,g:M \rightarrow N be two maps between simply-connected smooth manifolds MM and NN, such that MM is compact and NN is of finite R\mathbb{R}-type. The goal of this paper is to use integration of certain differential forms to obtain a complete invariant of the real homotopy classes of the maps ff and gg.
