Connection (principal Bundle) - Curvature Form

Curvature Form

The curvature form of a principal G-connection ω is the -valued 2-form Ω defined by

It is G-equivariant and horizontal, hence corresponds to a 2-form on M with values in . The identification of the curvature with this quantity is sometimes called the second structure equation.
