Harmonic Forms on Conformal Euclidean Manifolds: The Clifford Multivector Approach

Abstract

In this paper we express the theory of harmonic differential forms on conformal Euclidean manifolds in terms of the so called Clifford multivector fields. The aim is to give good definitions for d and d* operators in Clifford multivector case. Using these definitions we derive a formula for the Laplace operator. Three fundamental examples are included in the end of the paper and connections to existing theory is discussed.
