Commutator identity for an endomorphism connection ($[{\tilde{D}}_X,{\tilde{D}}_Y]\alpha =[[D_X,D_Y],\alpha ]$)

The endomorphism bundle connection is ${\tilde{D}}_X\alpha =D_X\circ \alpha -\alpha \circ D_X$ on sections. Expanding twice makes the two middle terms cancel, proving the displayed commutator identity. Subtracting the derivative along the Lie bracket of vector fields gives $\tilde{R}(X,Y)\alpha =[R(X,Y),\alpha ]$. The operators $D_X$ are differential operators, rather than fibrewise endomorphisms; the corrected curvature operator is fibrewise linear.
