Holonomy, twisting cochains and characteristic classes

Similarity:

This paper contains a description of various geometric constructions associated with fibre bundles, given in terms of important algebraic object, the “twisting cochain". Our examples include the Chern-Weil classes, the holonomy representation and the so-called cyclic Chern character of Bismut and others (see [2, 11, 27]), also called the Bismut’s class. The later example is the principal one for us, since we are motivated by the attempt to find an algebraic approach to the Witten’s index...
