In this paper we give explicit formulas of differential characteristic classes of principal $G$-bundles with connections and prove their expected properties. In particular, we obtain explicit formulas for differential Chern classes, differential Pontryagin classes and differential Euler class. Furthermore, we show that…

We give a definition of differentiable cohomology of a Lie group G (possibly infinite-dimensional) with coefficients in any abelian Lie group. This differentiable cohomology maps both to the cohomology of the group made discrete and to Lie algebra cohomology. We show that the secondary characteristic classes of Beilins…

Associated to a differential character is an integral cohomology class, referred to as the characteristic class, and a closed differential form, referred to as the curvature. The characteristic class and curvature are equal in de Rham cohomology, and this is encoded in a commutative square. In the Hopkins--Singer model…

Modern differential cohomology explained with applications.

What are called secondary characteristic classes in Chern-Weil theory are a refinement of ordinary characteristic classes of principal bundles from cohomology to differential cohomology. We consider the problem of refining the construction of secondary characteristic classes from cohomology sets to cocycle spaces; and …

We introduce certain relative differential characters which we call Cheeger-Chern-Simons characters. These combine the well-known Cheeger-Simons characters with Chern-Simons forms. In the same way as the Cheeger-Simons characters generalize Chern-Simons invariants of oriented closed manifolds, the Cheeger-Chern-Simons …

In this note we give a simple, model-independent construction of Chern classes as natural transformations from differential complex K-theory to differential integral cohomology. We verify the expected behaviour of these Chern classes with respect to sums and suspension.

Gelfand and MacPherson provided a new formula for calculating Pontrjagin classes.

We study relations between Rauzy classes coming from an interval exchange map and the corresponding connected components of strata of the moduli space of Abelian differentials. This gives a criterion to decide whether two permutations are in the same Rauzy class or not, without actually computing them. We prove a simil…

The goal and the main result of the paper is to provide a complete description of the field of rational differential invariants of one class of second order ordinary differential equations with scalar control parameter with respect to Lie pseudo-group of local feedback transformations. In particular, considered class d…

The paper constructs cohomology classes on curve strata.

Let X --> B be a proper submersion with a Riemannian structure. Given a differential K-theory class on X, we define its analytic and topological indices as differential K-theory classes on B. We prove that the two indices are the same.

New CH covariance class improves spatial statistics by balancing differentiability and tail behavior.

Three decades ago Cornalba-Harris proved a fundamental positivity result for divisor classes associated to families of stable curves. In this paper we establish an analogous positivity result for divisor classes associated to families of stable differentials.

Proposes a new Hodge conjecture in Bott-Chern cohomology.

We consider commensurability of quadratic differentials on surfaces. Each commensurability class has a natural order by the covering relation. We show that each commensurability class contains a unique (orbifold) element. We also discuss the relationship between commensurability of quadratic differentials and fibered c…

Develops connections and characteristic classes for Courant algebroids.

We introduce a space of stable meromorphic differentials with poles of prescribed orders and define its tautological cohomology ring. This space, just as the space of holomorphic differentials, is stratified according to the set of multiplicities of zeros of the differential. The main goal of this paper is to compute t…

We study $S^1$-bundles and $S^1$-gerbes over differentiable stacks in terms of Lie groupoids, and construct Chern classes and Dixmier-Douady classes in terms of analogues of connections and curvature.

We study the rational Picard group of the projectivized moduli space of holomorphic n-differentials on complex genus g stable curves. We define (n - 1) natural classes in this Picard group that we call Prym-Tyurin classes. We express these classes as linear combinations of boundary divisors and the divisor of n-differe…

We prove that the isomorphism type of a large class of groups (containing finite groups, countable Artinian groups and mapping class groups of certain surfaces, among others) is determined by the set of differential graded $\mathbb Q$-algebras on which these groups act faithfully.

In the first section we discuss Morita invariance of differentiable/algebroid cohomology. In the second section we present an extension of the van Est isomorphism to groupoids. This immediately implies a version of Haefliger's conjecture for differentiable cohomology. As a first application we clarify the connection be…

In this two part treatise, we present our developments in the context of solving two main classes …

We study cohomologies and Hodge theory for complex manifolds with twisted differentials. In particular, we get another cohomological obstruction for manifolds in class $\mathcal{C}$ of Fujiki. We give a Hodge-theoretical proof of the characterization of solvmanifolds in class $\mathcal{C}$ of Fujiki, first proven by D.…

These course note first provide an introduction to secondary characteristic classes and differential cohomology. They continue with a presentation of a stable homotopy theoretic approach to the theory of differential extensions of generalized cohomology theories including products and Umkehr maps.

We prove the Reilly formula for a class of elliptic divergence differential operator $L_Au=div(A\nabla u)$, where $A$ is a (1,1)-Codazzi tensor field. Then we get some estimates for the first positive eigenvalue of the operator.

Based on the theory of Poisson vertex algebras we calculate skew-symmetry conditions and Jacobi identities for a class of third-order nonlocal operators of differential-geometric type. Hamiltonian operators within this class are defined by a Monge metric and a skew-symmetric two-form satisfying a number of differential…

The characteristic forms in the bundle of connections of a principal bundle P over M determine the characteristic classes of P for degree less or equal to the dimension of M, and differential forms on the space of connections for higher degree. The equivariant characteristic classes provide canonical equivariant extens…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate shifted $(+1)$ Poisson structures in context of differential geometry. The relevant notion is shifted $(+1)$ Poisson structures on differentiable stacks. More precisely, we develop the notion of Morita equivalence of quasi-Poisson groupoids. Thus isomorphism classes of $(+1)$…

We introduce the notions of Atiyah class and Todd class of a differential graded vector bundle with respect to a differential graded Lie algebroid. We prove that the space of vector fields on a dg-manifold with homological vector field $Q$ admits a structure of L-infinity algebra with the Lie derivative $L_Q$ as unary …
