Cheeger-Simons differential characters with compact support and Pontryagin duality
Christian Becker, Marco Benini, Alexander Schenkel +1
By adapting the Cheeger-Simons approach to differential cohomology, we establish a notion of differential cohomology with compact support. We show that it is functorial with respec…
Cheeger-Chern-Simons theory and differential String classes
Christian Becker
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.…
Relative differential cohomology
Christian Becker
We study two notions of relative differential cohomology, using the model of differential characters. The two notions arise from the two options to construct relative homology, eit…
Differential Characters and Geometric Chains
Christian Baer, Christian Becker
We study Cheeger-Simons differential characters and provide geometric descriptions of the ring structure and of the fiber integration map. The uniqueness of differential cohomology…
On the Riemannian geometry of Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces
Christian Becker
We construct natural Riemannian metrics on Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces and study their geometry.
