Providing a systematic introduction to differential characters as
introduced by Cheeger and Simons, this text describes important
concepts such as fiber integration, higher dimensional holonomy,
transgression, and the product structure in a geometric manner.
Differential characters form a model of what is nowadays called
differential cohomology, which is the mathematical structure behind
the higher gauge theories in physics.
