Vector valued differential forms
introduction
exercise from Chern-Simons theory
- Chern-Simons invariant
\(S=\frac{k}{4\pi}\int_M \text{tr}\,(A\wedge dA+\tfrac{2}{3}A\wedge A\wedge A)=\frac{k}{4\pi}\int_M \text{tr}\,(A\wedge dA+\tfrac{1}{3}A\wedge [A,A])\)
Let \(A=(a_1dx+A_1 dt)\otimes X_1 +(a_2dx+A_2dt)\otimes X_2\) be a vector valued form
\(A\wedge A =(a_1A_2-a_2A_1)dx\wedge dt \otimes [X_1, X_2]\)
\([A,A]=2(a_1A_2-a_2A_1)dx\wedge dt \otimes [X_1, X_2]\)
