✦ Synopsis

Develops a Chern-Weil theory of characteristic classes of gerbes, fiber bundles whose fibers are groupoids, which arise naturally in the geometric aspects of mathematics and physics. Includes a self-contained introduction to the theory of sheaves and their cohomology, line bundles, and geometric prequantization. Written for topologists, geometers, Lie theorists, and mathematical physicists at a graduate or professional level.

Characteristic classes, one of the most abstract and most difficult subjects to teach, are treated in this book at a level that is fairly understandable. The author endeavors to explain how characteristic classes "do their jobs" in the areas in which they are employed, and, even though he does not g
