A local principal connection form A and a fiber coordinate γ reconstruct the connection on a principal bundle in a local section. Changing that section by s′=su changes γ to u−1γ and A to u−1Au+u−1du. Substitution cancels the two terms involving du, so the reconstructed forms agree on overlaps. Here A is Lie-algebra-valued and matrix conjugation denotes the adjoint action. Agreement across trivializations differs from the right-action equivariance Rh∗​ω=Adh−1​ω.
