Maurer–Cartan form

ID: maurer-cartan-form

The Maurer–Cartan form is a fundamental concept in the theory of Lie groups and differential geometry, particularly in the study of Lie group representations and the geometry of principal bundles. Given a Lie group \( G \), the Maurer–Cartan form is a differential 1-form on the Lie group that captures information about the group structure in terms of its tangent space.
