Homework Statement
Hello everyone! I am reading abour Poincares duality between 2 cohomology groups and here comes an inner product defined as
[itex] \left\langle \omega, \eta\right\rangle \equiv \int_{M}\omega \wedge \eta[/itex]
and then the author of my book says ''The product is bilinear and non-singular'' that is if [tex] \omega\neq 0[/tex] or [itex] \eta \neq 0[/tex] , [itex]\left\langle \omega, \eta\right\rangle [/tex] cannot vanish identically...
can someone please explain me this concept, what does it mean bilinear and non-singular??
Thank you!
