Coordinate Expansion of Differential Forms on Euclidean Open Sets

Statement

Let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, let U⊆RnU\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n be open, let k∈N∪{0}k\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}, and let ω\omega be a differential kk-form on UU. Then there exist unique real-valued functions

ai1…ik:U→Ra_{i_1\dots i_k}:U\to\mathbb{R}

indexed by strictly increasing kk-tuples (i1,…,ik)(i_1,\dots,i_k) with 1≤i1<⋯<ik≤n1\le i_1<\cdots<i_k\le n such that

ω=∑1≤i1<⋯<ik≤nai1…ik dxi1∧⋯∧dxik,\omega=\sum_{1\le i_1<\cdots<i_k\le n} a_{i_1\dots i_k}\, dx_{i_1}\wedge\cdots\wedge dx_{i_k},

where each dxidx_i is the coordinate 11-form from Coordinate 1-Form on an Open Subset of Euclidean Space and the wedge product is the one from Wedge Product of Differential Forms on Euclidean Space. When k=0k=0, this says that ω\omega is uniquely equal to a real-valued function on UU.
