Iterated integrals with values in Azumaya algebras.

We define Chen's iterated integrals of forms with values in an Azumaya algebra and show that in the flat case, these iterated integrals provide chain maps, and more generally, the curved structure is preserved. The appropriate trace maps are then defined and their corresponding geometric meanings are studied. We also define and study the wedge product of forms and the concatenation product of paths for these iterated integrals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
