   Linked via "principal bundle connection"

   Connection to Affine Structures
   The operation $\text{d}$ is closely related to connections in an Affine Connection (or more generally, a principal bundle connection). While the standard exterior derivative operates intrinsically on forms, the exterior covariant derivative $D$ incorporates the geometry of the connection $\nabla$ when considering forms with values in a vector bundle. The f…
