  Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and let $\Omega^*(M)$ denote the
space of differential forms on $M$. Let $d:\Omega^*(M) \to \Omega^{*+1}(M)$ be
the exterior differential operator and let $\Del=dd^*+d^*d$ be the Laplacian.
We establish a sufficient condition for the Schroedinger operator $H=\Del+V(x)$
(where the potential $V(x):\Omega^*(M)\to \Omega^*(M)$ is a zero order
differential operator) to be self-adjoint. Our result generalizes a theorem by
Igor Oleinik about self-adjointness of a Schroedinger operator which acts on
the space of scalar valued functions.
