### Differential characters as stacks and prequantization

• Mathematics
• 2007
We generalize geometric prequantization of symplectic manifolds to differentiable stacks. Our approach is atlas-independent and provides a bijection between isomorphism classes of principal circle

### Equivariant differential characters in Gauge Theory

Equivariant differential characters of second order are defined. Furthermore, it is shown that the Cheeger-Chern-Simons construction determines in a natural way $Aut^+P$-equivariant differential

### Equivariant differential characters and Chern–Simons bundles

We construct Chern-Simons bundles as $\mathrm{Aut}^{+}P$-equivariant $U(1)$ -bundles with connection over the space of connections $\mathcal{A}_{P}$ on a principal $G$-bundle $P\rightarrow M$. We

### Equivariant smooth Deligne cohomology

On the basis of Brylinski’s work, we introduce a notion of equ ivariant smooth Deligne cohomology group, which is a generalization of both ordinary smooth Deligne cohomology and ordinary equivariant

On definit la notion de groupoide symplectique. On donne la variete de Poisson de ce groupoide symplectique. On presente une construction

### Differential Characters on Orbifolds and String Connections I

• Mathematics
• 2003
In this paper we introduce the Cheeger-Simons cohomology of a global quotient orbifold. We prove that the Cheeger-Simons cohomology of the orbifold is isomorphic to its Beilinson-Deligne cohomology.

### Higher regulators and values of L-functions

In the work conjectures are formulated regarding the value of L-functions of motives and some computations are presented corroborating them.

### Quadratic functions in geometry, topology, and M-theory

• Mathematics
• 2002
We describe an interpretation of the Kervaire invariant of a Riemannian manifold of dimension $4k+2$ in terms of a holomorphic line bundle on the abelian variety $H^{2k+1}(M)\otimes R/Z$. Our results
