Abstract

When M is a differentiable manifold, the exterior differential k -forms on M are the alternate k -linear forms on the tangent bundle T(M) . The mesonic differential k -forms are the k -linear forms on T(M) that are alternate with respect to the variables of odd rank, and also alternate with respect to the variables of even rank. After a reminder about meson algebras, and after the presentation of elementary properties of mesonic forms, this article introduces the mesonic differentiation of mesonic forms, which can be partially compared to the exterior differentiation of exterior forms. Some applications to riemannian manifolds and flat manifolds follow.
