List of exercises, TODOs, and things to read before the next meeting.
Adjoint to exterior derivative: two proofs
Formula for rough Laplacian
Weitzenböck formula in an arbitrary orthonormal frame
Work out the curvature terms in the Weitzenböck formula
Derive the claimed Bochner formula from the Weitzenböck formula: recall we did $\Delta |\mathrm{d}\sigma|^2 = -\nabla_i \nabla_i \langle \mathrm{d}\sigma,\mathrm{d}\sigma\rangle$ …; do it again without assuming the connection vanishes at the point in question
Read do Carmo ch. 5, 9, prepare proof of second variation formula for harmonic maps
