Chern classes on differential<i>K</i>-theory
Chern classes on differential<i>K</i>-theory
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 behavior of these Chern classes with respect to sums and suspension. StatementsComplex K -theory and integral cohomology H ޚ are generalized cohomology theories …
