Symplectic embeddings in infinite codimension

Let $X$ be a union of a sequence of symplectic manifolds of increasing dimension and let $M$ be a manifold with a closed $2$-form $ω$. We use Tischler's elementary method for constructing symplectic embeddings in complex projective space to show that the map from the space of embeddings of $M$ in $X$ to the cohomology class of $ω$ given by pulling back the limiting symplectic form on $X$ is a weak Serre fibration. Using the same technique we prove that, if $b_2(M)<\infty$, any compact family of closed $2$-forms on $M$ can be obtained by restricting a standard family of forms on a product of complex projective spaces along a family of embeddings.

A continuous deRham antidifferential

Let M be a manifold, possibly with boundary. We show that the deRham differential from k-forms to exact (k+1)-forms has a continuous right inverse when both spaces are given the weak Whitney topology. This antidifferential operator is given a fairly explicit formula depending on the choice of a suitable good cover of M and local coordinates on the elements of the cover. If the antidifferential operator is applied to a smooth family of exact forms, it produces a smooth family of forms.
