Stokes Theorem for Compact Oriented Smooth Manifolds with Boundary

Statement

Let n∈n\in N\mathbb{N} with n≥2n\ge 2, and let MM be an oriented smooth manifold with boundary of dimension nn that is compact as defined in Smooth Atlas and Smooth Manifold with Boundary.

Let ω\omega be a smooth differential (n−1)(n-1)-form on MM and let dωd\omega denote the exterior derivative of ω\omega.

Let ∂M\partial M be the boundary of MM, regarded as a compact oriented smooth manifold (without boundary) of dimension n−1n-1 with the induced boundary orientation, and let ι∗ω\iota^{*}\omega denote the restriction of ω\omega to ∂M\partial M where ι:∂M→M\iota:\partial M\to M is the inclusion map.

Then

∫Mdω  =  ∫∂Mι∗ω,\int_{M} d\omega \;=\; \int_{\partial M} \iota^{*}\omega,

where both sides are integrals of smooth top-degree forms over compact oriented smooth manifolds. If ∂M=∅\partial M=\varnothing, then the right-hand side is understood to be 00.
