Cohomology of the variational bicomplex on the infinite order jet space
Abstract
We obtain the cohomology of the variational bicomplex on the infinite order jet space of a smooth fiber bundle in the class of exterior forms of finite jet order. This provides a solution of the global inverse problem of the calculus of variations of finite order on fiber bundles.
