[edit] Odd/twisted forms

It would be nice to specify the difference between even n-forms and odd or twisted n-forms. The latter, also called volume densities, permit to define "volume elements" also on non-orientable manifolds. See the various books and articles by Burke, Bressoud, the book by Marsden & Abraham & Ratiu, and the book by Choquet-Bruhat et al. I shall possibly write some more on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.233.183.58 (talk) 10:47, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
