Integration of a $2$-form

What is



$$int_C{omega}$$



where $omega=frac{dx wedge dy}{x^2+y^2}$ and $C(t_1,t_2)=(t_1+1)(cos(2pi t_2),sin(2pi t_2)) : I_2 rightarrow mathbb{R}^2 - text{{(0,0)}}$?



The integrals of $1$-forms I understood as we take $dx$ and $dy$ as the derivatives of the parametrisation $C(t)$ w.r.t $t$. However for $2$-forms we now have the wedge product $dx wedge dy$ which is where my problem lies in this question. Is this a matter of differentiation in two variables when computing this wedge? For example, before even calculating the wedge product, what is $dx(t_1,t_2)$?



The denominator isn't a problem: $x^2+y^2 = (t_1+1)^2$

I've never seen a definition of the integral of a $2$-form along a "2D path" $C: I^2 to mathbb{R}^2$ (has anyone?), but it seems clear to me that the sensible definition should be



$$ int_C omega := int_{I^2} C^*omega$$



where $C^*omega$ is the pull-back of $omega$ by $C$. Recall that it is defined by
$$ (C^*omega)_{|p} (u, v) := omega_{|C(p)}(dC_{|p} (u), dC_{|p} (v))~.$$



NB: More generally, we could define the same way integrals $int_C omega$ where $omega$ is a $k$-form on a $k$-dimensional manifold $M$ and $c$ is a smooth map $U subset mathbb{R}^k to M$.



Let's come back to your problem. Practically, you can compute $C^* omega$ by letting $(x,y) = C(t_1,t_2)$ in the expression of $omega$, you get:



$$
begin{align*}
x &= (t_1 + 1) cos (2pi t_2)\
y &= (t_1 + 1) sin (2pi t_2) \
end{align*}
$$



hence



$$
begin{align*}
x^2 + y^2 &= (t_1+1)^2\
dx &= cos (2pi t_2),dt_1 - 2pi (t_1 + 1)sin(2pi t_2) dt_2\
dy &= sin (2pi t_2),dt_1 + 2pi (t_1 + 1)cos(2pi t_2) dt_2\
dx wedge dy &= 2pi (t_1+1), dt_1wedge dt_2\
end{align*}
$$
thus
$$
C^* omega = {2pi, dt_1wedge dt_2over t_1 +1}
$$
You can now easily compute your integral: assuming $I = [0,1]$ (you don't say what I is)
$$
int_C omega = int_{I^2}{2pi, dt_1wedge dt_2over t_1 +1} = int_{I^2}{2pi, dt_1 dt_2over t_1 +1}
$$
which gives us by Tonelli's theorem
$$
int_C omega = 2pileft(int_{0}^1{dt_1over t_1 +1}right)left(int_{0}^1 dt_2right) = 2pi log (2)
$$



NB: Another approach ("just for fun") would be to work in polar coordinates, I'll let you try to figure out how do that.

$begingroup$

Changing to polar coordinates, let $t_1+1=rin[1,2]$, and $2pi t_2=phiin[0,2pi]$ (full circle). The set $C$ is an annulus in the $x,y$ plane bounded by the two concentric circles $r=1,2$, with $x^2+y^2=(rcosphi)^2+(rsinphi)^2=r^2$ The surface element $dxwedge dy = r dr d phi$. The function depends only on $r$, so the integration over the angle gives us simply $2pi$, and finally the result is



$$2piint_1^2 frac{rdr}{r^2}=2pilog2$$

      The only way I can interpret what you mean is $r=(t_1+1)$ and $theta = 2pi t_2$. Am I being naive here or are you just suggesting substitutions? From what I can see, we're already working in polar coordinates looking at our $C$.

      That's right, now you should try to express everything in those coordinates as I suggested above

      Having thought about your last point about polar coordinates, I wouldn't even know where to start. Any hint?

    Changing to polar coordinates, let $t_1+1=rin[1,2]$, and $2pi t_2=phiin[0,2pi]$ (full circle). The set $C$ is an annulus in the $x,y$ plane bounded by the two concentric circles $r=1,2$, with $x^2+y^2=(rcosphi)^2+(rsinphi)^2=r^2$ The surface element $dxwedge dy = r dr d phi$. The function depends only on $r$, so the integration over the angle gives us simply $2pi$, and finally the result is



    $$2piint_1^2 frac{rdr}{r^2}=2pilog2$$
