Invariant differential forms?

90 Views Asked by At

In the first page of the paper "On the spaces of maps inducing isomorphic connections" by T.R. Ramadas, one can read that the automorphisms of a connection $\nabla$ on a principal $G$-bundle $\pi:P \longrightarrow M$, denoted by $\mathsf{Aut}(\nabla)$, are those $G$-equivariant maps $P \longrightarrow P$ which cover the identity of $M$ and leave the connection $\nabla$ invariant.
Now, my question is: what does "leave invariant" mean here? Take a map $f$ in $\mathsf{Aut}(\nabla)$. Does this mean that the pull-back $f^*\nabla = \nabla$?
