Definition~\ref{def:intnform:chart} reduces the integral to a usual Riemannian integral on $\R^n$ (or $\cH^n$). This is in principle blind to the orientation of the manifold, which is encoded in the choice of the chart from the oriented atlas.

Comparing this with Proposition~\ref{prop:wedgeToJDet}, we see that the positivity of the Jacobian determinant $\det(D\sigma^{-1}|_y)$ is exactly what guarantees that our definition remain consistent.

It is possible, and customary, to extend the definition of integral to negatively oriented charts by manually adding a minus sign in front of the integral to compensate for the negative Jacobian determinant.

This can be pushed further and one can define integrals on non-orientable manifolds by means of densities, which are objects similar to differential forms but that transform with the absolute value of the Jacobian determinant.

However, this is beyond the scope of this course. You can find all the details in \cite[Chapter 16]{book:lee} or \cite[Chapters 6 and 7]{book:abrahammarsdenratiu}.

To be able to integrate charts which are not supported in the domain of a single chart, we now need the help of a partition of unity.

One can see this by observing that $dx\wedge dy = \rho\, d\rho \wedge d\theta$ and thus the outer boundary is positively oriented, as $\iota_{\frac{\partial}{\partial \rho}} \rho\, d\rho \wedge d\theta|_{\rho = 1} = d\theta$. Conversely, the inner boundary is negatively oriented, since the outer normal points inward: $\iota_{-\frac{\partial}{\partial \rho}} \rho\, d\rho \wedge d\theta|_{\rho = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} d\theta$. Note that since orientation is defined by an equivalence class of volume forms, only the sign of the coefficient relative to $d\theta$ determines the orientation.}.

An important consequence of this is that while locally $\omega$ is the differential of the angle function $\theta$, this cannot be exact on the full $M$: indeed, if $\omega = d\eta$ globally for some $\eta$, we would have that on any closed curve $\gamma$, $\int_\gamma \omega = \int_\gamma d\theta = \int_{\partial\gamma} \theta = 0$.
