Let u = (U1, U2, U3): R³ → R³ be an arbitrary (smooth) vector field in R³ = {x = (x₁, x2, x3)} (as in vector calculus). (We don't care about the difference between subscripts and superscripts here.) (a) Define a 1-form on R3 corresponding to u as follows: u= u₁(x) dx₁+U₂(x) dx2 + u3(x) dx3. Find the 2-form dub. What vector field in R3 corresponds to it? (b) Suppose that a vector field u satisfies u = df with f:R³ R. What is the relationship between u and f in the vector calculus terms? (c) The Poincaré Lemma says any closed 1-form in R³ is exact. What is the corresponding result in vector calculus?
