On characteristic forms on complex manifolds (Q756172): Difference between revisions

Let X be a complex manifold of dimension \(n\geq 2\) and F(X) the bundle of complex linear frames. A complex projectively equivalent class \(\alpha\) of torsion free affine connections on F(X) gives rise to a normal reduced (smooth) projective connection \(\pi\) and its Weyl curvature tensor \(W(\pi)\). As we define the Chern form \(c_ k(\theta)\) out of the curvature tensor R(\(\theta\)) of a torsion free affine connection \(\theta\), we can define the Weyl form \(P_ k(\pi)\) out of the Weyl curvature tensor W(\(\pi\)). When \(\theta\) belongs to \(\alpha\), the author proves the following formula: \[ c_ k(\theta)= \sum^{k}_{j=0}\binom{n+1-j}{k-j}((n+1)^{-1}c_ 1(\theta))^{k-j} P_ j(\pi),\quad 0\leq k\leq n. \]
