Notes	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.   HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07034-6
