Chern -Weil map for topological principal G bundles

Let $G$ be a Lie group. In the book Curvature and Characteristic classes, the author (Johan L. Dupont) mentiones in beginning of chapter 5 the following : The notion of a topological principal $ …

Chern-Weil theory and Weil homomorphism of principal bundle

In Kobayashi and Nomizu's book Foundations of Differential geometry they introduce the concept of connection on a principal $G$ bundle. In this book, they use connection on a principal bundle to defin …

determinant of curvature (notation issue)

Curvature $\Omega$ is a $\mathfrak{g}$ valued $2$-form on $P$ i.e., for each $p\in P$, we have $\Omega(p):T_pP\times T_pP\rightarrow \mathfrak{g}$. As $\mathfrak{g}$ is $\mathfrak{gl}(r,\mathbb{C})$ …

determinant of curvature (notation issue)

This is when studying about Chern classes from Kobayashi and Nomizu. Let $\pi:E\rightarrow M$ be a complex vector bundle with fibre $\mathbb{C}^r$ and Group $G=GL(r,\mathbb{C})$. Let $p:P\rightarrow …
