Abstract
3+1 decompositions of differential forms on a Lorentzian manifold (M,g;+ - - -) with respect to arbitrary observer field and the decomposition of the standard operations acting on them are studied, making use of the ideas of the theory of connections on principal bundles. Simple explicit general formulas are given as well as their application to the Maxwell equations.
