Abstract

After reviewing briefly the dimensional reduction of Chern–Pontryagin densitie, we define new Chern–Simons densities expressed in terms of Yang-Mills and Higgs fields. These are defined in all dimensions, including in even dimensional spacetimes. They are constructed by subjecting the dimensionally reduced Chern–Pontryagin densites to further descent by two steps.
