Two forms related by an automorphism are in the same cohomology class?

$begingroup$


Let $f: M to M$ define an automorphism on the smooth manifold M.



Given a differential form $omega in Omega^k$ is it true that the de Rham cohomology class of $omega$ and $f^*omega$ are the same? That is, does $[omega]=[f^*omega]$.

    Here's another type of example: Consider the antipodal map ($f(x)=-x$) on $S^n$ with $n$ even.

No. One example: take the torus $X = mathbb{R}^2/mathbb{Z}^2$. The flip-flop on the factors interchanges the closed forms $dx$ and $dy$ which are linearly independent in $H^1(X)$.
