Notes

  1. 1.

    Throughout, \(\mbox{tr}=\mbox{tr}_{V}\) denotes the trace on a finite-dimensional vector space \(V\), \({\rm Tr}\) an operator trace, and \(\text{Tr\,}_{{\mathcal{C}}},\text{Tr\,}_{\mathbf{z}}\) the canonical and zeta regularized traces.

  2. 2.

    We differ from 3 by a sign since we use the form on the dual bundle.

  3. 3.

    Note that for bundles \(\xi^{i}\), \(i=1,2,3\), with connection inducing connections \(\nabla^{i,j}\) on \(\text{Hom}(\xi^{i},\xi^{j})\) one has for respective sections \(A,B\) of \(\text{Hom}(\xi^{2},\xi^{3})\), \(\text{Hom}(\xi^{1},\xi^{2})\), \(\nabla^{1,3}(AB)=\nabla^{1,2}(A)B+A\nabla^{2,3}(B)\), for any choice of connection \(\nabla^{2}\) on \(\xi^{2}\).
