Secondary characteristic class defined for odd-dimensional manifolds with G-bundles with connection; in 2n−1 dimensions, defined as (formal) exterior antiderivative of tr(Fⁿ) where F is the curvature of the connection
sekundara karaktera klaso, difinita por nepardimensia sternaĵo kun G-fasko kun konekto; en 2n−1 dimensioj, difinita kiel (formala) ekstera malderivaĵo de tr(Fⁿ), kie F estas la kurbeco de konekto de fasko (eo)
forme differenziali sviluppate da Shiing-Shen Chern e Jim Simons (it)
