   Format: MarkdownItexDiscussion of the formulas for the standard characteristic forms has been missing in various entries (e.g. at *[[Chern class]]* at *[[characteristic form]]*, etc.). Since there is little point in discussing the Chern forms independently from the Pontrjagin forms etc. I am now making it a stand-alone section to be `!include`-ed into relevant entries, to have it all in one place. Not done yet, though, but it's a start. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/Chern-+and+Pontrjagin+forms+--+section/1">v1</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Chern-+and+Pontrjagin+forms+--+section">current</a>
