closed $k$-form; universal space; $H$-principle
Summary:
In this note we prove that any integral closed $k$-form $\phi ^k$, $k\ge 3$, on a m-dimensional manifold $M^m$, $m \ge k$, is the restriction of a universal closed $k$-form $h^k$ on a universal manifold $U^{d(m,k)}$ as a result of an embedding of $M^m$ to $U^{d(m,k)}$.
