    Abstract

    We construct radial fundamental solutions for the differential form Laplacian on negatively curved symmetric spaces. At least, one of these Green’s functions also yields a Biot-Savart operator, i.e., a right inverse of the exterior differential on closed forms with image in the kernel of the codifferential. Any Biot-Savart operator gives rise to a Gauss linking integral.
