Reconstruction of a principal connection from local gauge potentials

ID: reconstruction-of-a-principal-connection-from-local-gauge-potentials

A local principal connection form and a fiber coordinate reconstruct the connection on a principal bundle in a local section. Changing that section by changes to and to . Substitution cancels the two terms involving , so the reconstructed forms agree on overlaps. Here is Lie-algebra-valued and matrix conjugation denotes the adjoint action. Agreement across trivializations differs from the right-action equivariance .
