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 show that the Chern-Simons bundles are determined up to an isomorphisms by means of its equivariant holonomy. The space of equivariant holonomies is shown to coincide with the space of equivariant differential characteres of second order. Furthermore, we prove that the Chern-Simons theory provides, in…

We show how characteristic classes determine equivariant prequantization bundles over the space of connections on a principal bundle. These bundles are shown to generalize the Chern–Simons line

Following M. F. Atiyah and R. Bott [AB] and E. Witten [W], we consider the space of flat connections on the trivialSU(2) bundle over a surfaceM, modulo the space of gauge transformations. We describe
