The Pullback Equation for Differential Forms

An important question in geometry and analysis is to know when two k-forms f and g are equivalent through a change of variables. The problem is therefore to find a map φ so that it satisfies the pullback equation: φ*(g) = f.  In more physical terms, the question under consideration can be seen as a...
