4 I. Differential forms in 3D Euclidean space A p-form in n dimensions has independent components. For n=3: one 0-form, three 1-forms, three 2-forms, one 3-form, and that's it. Note that there is a correspondence between p- and (n-p)-forms via the Hodge dual: In 3D one has, and therefore 3/22

17 Visualization of differential 1-forms: a word of caution Explicit construction can be very hard, for example: 1. Corresponding vector field is, OK. 2. Can we derive a potential? Only possible for. YES: Very good, see before. Differential form = equipotential surfaces. NO: More complicated, but surfaces can still be built locally. Bottom line: locally, the surface picture is reasonable, but be careful with global concepts. 7/22

62 Abstract Differential forms: from classical force to the Wilson loop We start by reviewing basic properties of differential forms in three dimensions. Using the Hodge star and thereby deriving a visualization procedure, we move on to classical mechanics and vacuum electrodynamics. Therein, differential forms can be interpreted operationally, and their full physical significance becomes clear. We now move on to more abstract grounds: we revisit electrodynamics as a gauge theory, and discuss its connection 1-form and its relation to the group U(1). We close by motivating the geometric interpretation of connection 1-forms in gauge theories using the Wilson loop, and sketch its application to General Relativity and beyond.
