Invariant integration by parts for a gauge covariant derivative

ID: invariant-integration-by-parts-for-a-gauge-covariant-derivative

For the Killing form or another invariant bilinear form on a Lie algebra,
The connection terms cancel by invariance. Thus, for compactly supported variations, a gauge covariant derivative can be moved to the other factor in an integral with a minus sign, just as an ordinary derivative.
