Statement

Let n,m,kNn,m,k\in\mathbb{N}. Let URnU\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n and VRmV\subseteq \mathbb{R}^m be open subsets, let F:UVF:U\to V be a C1C^1 map, and let ω\omega be a differential kk-form on VV. The pullback of ω\omega by FF is the differential kk-form FωF^{*}\omega on UU defined by

(Fω)x(v1,,vk)=ωF(x)(JF(x)v1,,JF(x)vk)(F^{*}\omega)_x(v_1,\dots,v_k)=\omega_{F(x)}\bigl(J_F(x)v_1,\dots,J_F(x)v_k\bigr)

for every xUx\in U and every vectors v1,,vkRnv_1,\dots,v_k\in\mathbb{R}^n, where JF(x)vrJ_F(x)v_r denotes the matrix-vector product from the definition of matrix-vector multiplication, applied to the Jacobian matrix appearing in the differentiability definition.
