Let $α = dz - ydx \in Ω^1 (\mathbb{R}^3)$.
Prove that $\forall p,q \in \mathbb{R}^3,\ \exists \gamma: [0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ smooth, such that $γ(0)=p, γ(1) =q$ and $\gamma$ is tangent to $ker\ \alpha$ for all $t\in [0,1]$.
If we take $\gamma(t) = p(1-t) + qt$ we math the conditions $γ(0)=p, γ(1) =q$, but how to match the last condition : $\alpha (\gamma'(t)) = 0$?
Thank you for any insights.
The third condition says that for each $t$, we must have $$ \alpha(\gamma(t)) [\gamma'(t)] = 0. \tag{*} $$ If we write $$ \gamma(t) = (x(t), y(t), z(t)) $$ then $$ \gamma'(t) = (x'(t), y'(t), z'(t)) $$ and equation (*) becomes $$ z'(t) - y(t) x'(t) = 0, $$ which you can, perhaps, solve (or can at least prove has a solution).
