Let $G$ ba a compact Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, $\mathfrak{g}^{*}$ be the dual of $\mathfrak{g}$. We known the Weil algebra is
$$W(\mathfrak{g})=\wedge(\mathfrak{g}^{*})\otimes S(\mathfrak{g}^{*}).$$
Choose a basis $e_{1},\cdots,e_{n}$ for $\mathfrak{g}$ and let $e_{1}^{*},\cdots,e_{n}^{*}$ be the dual basis of $\mathfrak{g}^{*}$. Let $\theta^{1},\cdots,\theta^{n}$ be the dual basis of $\mathfrak{g}^{*}$ generating the exterior algebra $\wedge(\mathfrak{g}^{*})$ and let $\phi^{1},\cdots,\phi^{n}$ be the dual basis of $\mathfrak{g}^{*}$ generating the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak{g}^{*})$.
On $(S(\mathfrak{g}^{*})\otimes\Omega^{*}(M))^{G}$, there is the Cartan model.
The exterior differential in Cartan model of equivariant cohomology is defined by $$D=1\otimes d-\sum_{j=1}^{n}\phi^{j}\otimes\iota_{j}$$ here, $\iota_{j}$ is the contraction operator.
If we choose $\widetilde{e}_{1},\cdots,\widetilde{e}_{n}$ as the another basis of $\mathfrak{g}$, then the dual basis of $\mathfrak{g}^{*}$ generating the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak{g}^{*})$ is $\widetilde{\phi}^{1},\cdots,\widetilde{\phi}^{n}$.
How to express the operator $\sum_{j=1}^{n}\phi^{j}\otimes\iota_{j}$ in the basis $\widetilde{e}_{1}^{*},\cdots,\widetilde{e}_{n}^{*}$ and Why is it?
