General Expressions for the Coefficients of Chern Forms Up to the 13th Order in Curvature

Abstract

General expressions are given for the coefficients of Chern forms up to the 13th order in curvature in terms of the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor and some of its concomitants (e.g., Pontrjagin's characteristic tensors) for n-dimensional differentiable manifolds having a general linear connection.
