Gaussian curvature and curvature of the Levi-Civita connection

The curvature of the connection is a matrix of 2-forms $\Omega=d\Theta$. … . $$ I know that the coefficient $-\left(e_1(T_{12}^2)-e_2(T_{12}^1)+(T_{12}^1)^2+(T_{12}^2)^2\right)$ is indeed the Gaussian curvature of the surface. But I am not able to prove it. …

Gaussian curvature and curvature of the Levi-Civita connection

We are going to show it is indeed the Gaussian curvature in case $S$ is an immersed surface $\iota:S\to \mathbb{R}^3$. … Now, we only have to put together several things: First, we know that Gaussian curvature $K$, as the product of the main curvatures, is the determinant of the shape operator. …
