High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, Chern–Weil theory computes topological invariants of vector bundles and principal bundles in terms of connections and curvature. That is, the theory forms a bridge between the areas of algebraic topology and differential geometry. It was developed in the late 1940s by Shiing-Shen Chern and Andre Weil, in the wake of proofs of the generalized Gauss–Bonnet theorem. See Chern–Weil homomorphism for more detail.
