In summary, the conversation discusses a singular k-cube and a 1-1 function that maps the k-cube to itself. The determinant of the function's derivative is always non-negative on the k-cube. The conversation then states that the integral of a k-form over the k-cube is equal to the integral of the same form over the k-cube composed with the given function. The proof involves applying the transformation theorem on the given function.

Let c be a singular k-cube and [tex]p:[0,1]^k \to [0,1]^k [/tex] a 1-1 function such that [tex]p([0,1]^k ) = [0,1]^k

[/tex] and [tex]\operatorname{det} p'(x) \ge 0[/tex] for [tex]x \in [0,1]^k [/tex].If [tex]\omega [/tex] is a k-form,show that [tex]

\int\limits_c \omega = \int\limits_{c \circ p} \omega[/tex]

Note that
[tex]\int\limits_c \omega = \int\limits_{[0,1]^k } {c*\omega } = \int\limits_{[0,1]^k } {(f \circ c)(\det c')dx^1

\wedge ... \wedge dx^k } [/tex]
[tex]\int\limits_{c \circ p} \omega = \int\limits_{[0,1]^k } {(c \circ p)*\omega } = \int\limits_{[0,1]^k } {(f \circ c

\circ p)(\det (c \circ p)')dx^1 \wedge ... \wedge dx^k } = \int\limits_{[0,1]^k } {(f \circ c \circ p)((\det c') \cdot

(\det p'))dx^1 \wedge ... \wedge dx^k } [/tex]

did I deduce it right?If it's right,how to prove

Looks good, but you have to apply the transformation theorem on ##p## as the final step.
