We’ll start out by defining the Hodge star operator as a map from ∧k(R) to ∧n−k(R). Here ∧k(R) denotes the vector space of alternating k-tensors on R. Later on, we will extend this definition to alternating tensors on a finite dimensional vector space that is equipped with an inner product. Let I = (i1, ..., ik) be some increasing multi-index of length k. That is i1 < i2 < i3 < .... Let J = (j1...

A fermionic analogue of the Hodge star operation is shown to have an explicit operator representation in models with fermions, in spacetimes of any dimension. This operator realizes a conjugation (pairing) not used explicitly in field-theory, and induces a metric in the space of wave-function(al)s just as in exterior calculus. If made real (Hermitian), this induced metric turns out to be identi...

W e develop exterior calculus approaches for partial differential equations on radial manifolds. We introduce numerical methods that approximate with spectral accuracy the exterior derivative d, Hodge star ?, and their compositions. To achieve discretizations with high precision and symmetry, we develop hyperinterpolation methods based on spherical harmonics and Lebedev quadrature. We perform c...

We show that, given a histogram with n bins—possibly non-contiguous or consisting of single points—there exists a unique polynomial histopolant (polynomial of order n with bin averages equal to the histogram’s). We also present histopolating cardinal functions for histograms with contiguous bins. The Hodge star operator from the theory of differential forms is the mapping which puts kand (d − k...
