On the exterior product of H\"older differential forms

Differential Geometry 2026-03-06 v2

Abstract

We introduce a complex of cochains, α\alpha-fractional charges (0<α10 < \alpha \leq 1), whose regularity is between that of De Pauw-Moonens-Pfeffer's charges and that of Whitney's flat cochains. We show that α\alpha-H\"older differential forms and their exterior derivative can be realized as α\alpha-fractional charges, and that it is possible to define the exterior product between an α\alpha-fractional and a β\beta-fractional charge, under the condition that α+β>1\alpha + \beta > 1. This construction extends the Young integral in arbitrary dimension and codimension.
