Local cohomology in field theory (with applications to the Einstein equations)

Abstract

This is an introductory survey of the theory of $p$-form conservation laws in field theory. It is based upon a series of lectures given at the Second Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics held in Tlaxcala, Mexico from December 1--7, 1996.
