Chern-Simons, Wess-Zumino and other cocycles from Kashiwara-Vergne and associators
Descent equations play an important role in the theory of characteristic classes and find applications in theoretical physics, e.g., in the Chern-Simons field theory and in the theory of anomalies. The second Chern class (the first Pontrjagin class) is defined as p=⟨F,F⟩ where F is the curvature 2-f...
