On dimensions of vector spaces of conformal Killing forms
Original language description
In this article there are found precise upper bounds of dimension of vector spaces of conformal Killing forms, closed and coclosed conformal Killing r-forms on an n-dimensional manifold. It is proved that, in the case of n-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold, the vector space of conformal Killing r-forms is an orthogonal sum of the subspace of Killing forms and of the subspace of exact conformal Killing r-forms. This is a generalization of related result of Tachibana and Kashiwada on pointwise decomposition of conformal Killing r-forms on a Riemannian manifold with constant curvature. It is shown that the following well known proposition may be derived as a consequence of our result: any closed Riemannian manifold having zero Betti number and admitting group of conformal mappings, which is non equal to the group of motions, is conformal equivalent to a hypersphere of Euclidean space.
