May 30, 2016 at 14:51 comment added Jordan You are right, thanks for the comment. First of all, yes, by non-trivial flux, I mean what you say. Secondly, you are correct, it is not well put; I mean why the compact manifold has to contain p-cycles in order to support fluxes. The topology has to do with the different choices of curves that one can use. But you are absolutely right, i could have stated it in a more proper way, thanks for the comment.
May 30, 2016 at 14:47 comment added ACuriousMind This question could use a lot more context. What, exactly, do you mean by "non-trivial flux" (I would take $\int_{C^p} F_{(p)}\neq 0$ as the definition of "non-trivial flux")? What do you mean by "the geometry should be a p-cycle"? The geometry of what? Why are you talking about topology after that?
