I have added a little bit of substance to Poincare lemma

@Anyone - the flow of statements at Poincare lemma didn’t make sense to me, so I popped a note in. I made a small correction to a typo (manifolds had changed names mysteriously).

Phew, I hadn’t been concentrating when typing. Thanks for catching this.

Where it said “$H_{dR}^\bullet(X) = H_{dR}^\bullet(Y)$” is was supposed to say “$H_{dR}^\bullet(f_1^*) = H_{dR}^\bullet(f_2^*)$”. Namely:

if two cochain maps $f_1^*$ and $f_2^*$ are homotopic, then they induce the same maps in cohomology.

Sorry. I have fixed it now. Any further typos? I need to call it quits now.

I have added more details. (Hopefully without weird typos this time!)

I have expanded the Idea-section at Poincare lemma a bit, mentioning also the complex-analytic version and the incarnation of the statement as the local quasi-iso $\mathbb{R}\to \Omega^\bullet_{dR}$ ($\mathbb{C}\to \Omega^\bullet_{hol}$). Wanted to do more, but am out of steam now.
