The variational equations describing a flow of the differential forms<br />

da, db, dy1 <strong>and</strong> dy2 associated to (2.21) are:<br />

da ′ = Λ(z,ǫ)da+a(∇Λ·dz)<br />

db ′ = Γ(z,ǫ)db+b(∇Γ·dz)<br />

dy ′<br />

1<br />

dy ′<br />

2<br />

= ǫ∇g1(z,ǫ)·dz<br />

= ǫ∇g2(z,ǫ)·dz<br />

where dz=(da, db, dy1, dy2) T <strong>and</strong>∇denotes the usual gradient operator so e.g.<br />

∇Λ=<br />

<br />

∂Λ<br />

∂a ,∂Λ<br />

∂b ,∂Λ,<br />

∂y1<br />

∂Λ<br />

T ∂y2<br />

To calculate the evolution equations for the <strong>two</strong>-forms Pσ1σ2 we use the product<br />

rule, e.g.<br />

P ′ ay1<br />

= (da∧dy1) ′ = da ′ ∧ dy1+ da∧dy ′<br />

1<br />

= (Λ(z,ǫ)da+a∇Λ·dz)∧dy1+ǫda∧(∇g1· dz)<br />

=: Λ(z,ǫ)Pay1+ aR1+ǫR2<br />

where·denotes the usual dot product between vectors in R 4 . We shall drop<br />

the argument (z,ǫ) for simplicity from now on. The calculations for the other<br />

2-forms are similar <strong>and</strong> we get the desired evolution equations:<br />

P ′ ay1 = ΛPay1+ aR1+ǫR2<br />

P ′ ay2 = ΛPay2+ aR3+ǫR4<br />

P ′<br />

ab = (Λ+Γ)Pab+ aR5+ bR6<br />

P ′<br />

by1 = ΓPby1+ bR7+ǫR8 (2.23)<br />

P ′<br />

by2 = ΓPby2+ bR9+ǫR10<br />

P ′ y1y2 = ǫ(R11+ R12)<br />
