Description
Derivatives of secondary characteristic classes for foliations are discussed. It will be shown that one can construct the derivatives in a parallel way to the standard construction of secondary characteristic classes, namely, by using connections and applying the Chern-Weil theory. Some relationship of connections in the construction and transverse TW-connections, which is significant in the study of deformations of the Godbillon-Vey class and the Bott class, are also discussed.
