Given any two connections $\nabla_1, \nabla_2: \Omega^0 (V) \to \Omega^1 (V)$ on a vector bundle $V \to M$, their difference $\nabla_1 - \nabla_2$ is a $C^\infty (M)$-linear map $\Omega^0 (V) \to \Omega^1 (V)$.
Question: I have difficulties swallowing the implication that $\nabla_1 - \nabla_2 \in \Omega^1 (\text{End } V)$.
Of course, $\Omega^1 (\text{End } V) = \Gamma (T^\ast M \otimes \text{End } V)$, so this is saying that $\nabla_1 - \nabla_2$ is an endomorphism-valued 1-form. Also, given any section $s \in \Omega^0 (V)$, the difference $(\nabla_1 - \nabla_2) s$ at any point $m \in M$ is completely determined by the value $s(m)$, i.e. the operator $(\nabla_1 - \nabla_2) |_m$ is an endomorphism of the fiber $V|_m$, but I don't see how this is relevant, yet...
