Feb 19, 2023 at 15:50 comment added Adrien Martina I think you weren't careful enough about the derivatives. On the LHS, you are taking derivative of the product of $\omega$ times $\eta$, whereas the RHS term you computed has only a derivative of $\omega$. If you expand the derivative of the product on the LHS, you get a second term which you can only capture with the $\omega \wedge (d \eta)$ term
