Generalized Chern-Simons Form and Descent Equation

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-07 v1

Abstract

We present the general method to introduce the generalized Chern-Simons form and the descent equation which contain the scalar field in addition to the gauge fields. It is based on the technique in a noncommutative differential geometry (NCG) which extends the NN-dimensional Minkowski space MNM_N to the discrete space such as MN×Z2M_N\times Z_2 with two point space Z2Z_2. However, the resultant equations do not depend on NCG but are justified by the algebraic rules in the ordinary differential geometry.
