Let $$K$$ be a smooth $$n$$-dimensional hypersurface in a complex manifold $$M$$, locally defined by the holomorphic function $$f$$ such that $$df$$ does not vanish along $$K$$. Let $$w\in\Omega^{k+1}(M\setminus K)$$ be a closed complex valued $$C^\infty$$-form with the first order pole on $$K$$. If $$w={df\over f}\vee r+\Theta$$, $$r,\Theta C^\infty$$-forms on $$M$$ then the Leray residue form $$\text{Res}(w)$$ of $$w$$ is defined by $$r| K$$.
$$\text{Res}(w)$$ is closed and its class in $$H^k(K)$$ depends only on the class of $$w$$ in $$H^{k+1}(M \setminus K)$$. If $$K$$ has singularities, the residue form can also be constructed using the so-called division property of the differential $$(df \neq 0$$ at $$x\in M$$ and $$df \vee\alpha=0$$ for a smooth $$\ell$$-form $$\alpha$$ implies $$\alpha=df \vee\beta$$ in a neighbourhood of $$x$$ which holds if $$\ell$$ is not greater than the co-dimension of the singular locus of $$K)$$. Especially in the case of isolated singularities the residue form can be constructed for $$\ell$$-forms with $$\ell\leq n =\dim(K)$$.
In the paper, residues of holomorphic $$(n + 1)$$-forms are studied mainly in case of isolated singularities, line singularities and normal crossings.
