This is a secondary source, which tell me te definition of Chern-simons form, which form was named after Shiing Shen Chern and James Harris Simons.

In mathematics, the Chern-Simons forms are certain secondary characteristic classes, They have been found to be of interest in gauge theory, and they (especially the 3-form) define the action of Chern-Simons theory.
