Reference for cup product in deRham cohomology












0












$begingroup$


Given a smooth manifold $M$, we have what are called deRham cohomology groups $H^i(M,mathbb{R})$.



deRham cohomology ring $H^*(M,mathbb{R})$ is as a set $bigoplus_{i=0}^{text{dim(M)}} H^i(M,mathbb{R})$. This is made a ring by giving multiplication. Given $1$-form $omega$ and a $2$-form $tau$, the product $omega.tau$ is the wedge product $omegawedgetau$.



Is there any reference where this is mentioned?

    @Travis It does not say anything about deRham cohomology but it does say something about cup product... Thank you :) Any reference where deRham cohomology is specifically mentioned?

    The notion of cup product is a general feature of cohomology theory. I don't know offhand a reference that exclusively treats the cup product of de Rham cohomology.

    @Travis Yes, I know that cup product is in other cohomology theories.. Some one asked me for reference only for deRham cohomology (may be because it is easier than others).. I could not think of any.. So, asked as question here..

    Look at Warner's Foundations of Manifolds book or Spivak's Differential Geometry, volume 1.
