Dec 18, 2022 at 7:48 comment added Igor Khavkine No charts needed to define the directional (or Fréchet) derivatives. There are too many references to pick just one canonical one, but see for example Classical Field Theory by Deligne & Freed from Quantum fields and strings: a course for mathematicians (AMS, 1999).

Dec 18, 2022 at 2:47 comment added ChoMedit @IgorKhavkine I apologize for that.. I now clarify where my confusion is. In fact, why did you say that the chart is unnecessary complicated? Are there something good tools to get a field equations from action functional without trivializations? I mean, most of people doesn't have an attention on specific local expression of the field equation?
Dec 17, 2022 at 22:25 comment added Igor Khavkine I don't think this is the right place for a "please check my work" request. Even then, you haven't indicated where your own confusion might be in this (unnecessary complicated by charts) calculation.
Dec 17, 2022 at 15:59 comment added ChoMedit @IgorKhavkine Sorry for lack of rigour. I introduce charts and trivializations to get a Euler-Lagrange equation of given action functional, since the field is not a complex function on $\mathbb{R}^n$, but the section of arbitrary complex line bundle on some manifold $M$. I don't know much about this. But, I've seen this in some paper. Could I ask what is the potential confusion? I didn't intend something physical, but only mathematical. If it were possible, then it would be good, but it makes the problem a little sophisticated and so, I wouldn't check I goes to the right direction.
Dec 17, 2022 at 10:44 comment added Igor Khavkine I don't understand. Where is the potential confusion? And why introduce charts and trivializations in the first place?
