Differential Characters [electronic resource] / by Christian Bär, Christian Becker. - VIII, 187 p. online resource. - Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 2112 0075-8434 ; . - Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 2112 .
Differential Characters and Geometric Chains -- Relative differential Cohomology -- Index.
Providing a systematic introduction to differential characters as introduced by Cheeger and Simons, this text describes important concepts such as fiber integration, higher dimensional holonomy, transgression, and the product structure in a geometric manner. Differential characters form a model of what is nowadays called differential cohomology, which is the mathematical structure behind the higher gauge theories in physics. .
