Definition: Differential Form of Degree k
Let \(M\) be a differentiable manifold. A differential form of degree \(k\) is a section of the \(n\)-th alternating product of its cotangent bundle, i.e. it is a function
\[\omega \colon \cases{M\longrightarrow \bigwedge ^{k}T^{ * }M,\\x\longmapsto \omega (x),}\]
with \(\omega (x)\in \bigwedge ^{k}T_{x}^{ * }M\).
