Bi-invariant differential form
On a connected Lie group, a left-invariant differential 1-form is closed exactly when it is bi-invariant. Connectedness is essential: on O(2) every left-invariant 1-form is closed because its Lie algebra is abelian, while reflection conjugation negates every nonzero one.
