of a Lie algebra a in a reductive Lie algebra g. In our earlier work, we defined two canonical
maps Tr g (a): HC•(r)(a)→ H•[DRep g (a)] G and Φ g (a): H•[DRep g (a)] G→ H•[DRep h (a)]
W, called the Drinfeld trace and the derived Harish-Chandra homomorphism, respectively. In
this paper, we give general formulas for these maps in terms of Chern–Simons forms. As a
consequence, we show that, if a is an abelian Lie algebra, the composite map Φ g (a)° Tr g …
