| Jun 13, 2017 at 6:09 | comment | added | Sebastian Goette | @მამუკაჯიბლაძე You get a secondary class for variations of metrics, and from degree 3 on, there are variational classes to compare two flat connections joined by a path of flat connections. I am not aware of any classes for non-flat connections, except the original Chern-Weil forms from which the Kamber-Tondeur or Bismut-Lott classes were derived. | |
