In my talk I will start with an introduction to smooth Deligne
cohomology and then present the main results of my diploma thesis.
Let G be a compact connected Lie group with classifying space BG and
let a be an integer cohomology class of even degree p on BG. Let F be a
compact connected differentiable manifold with G-action satisfying
further topological conditions, e.g. F is a Stiefel manifold. Suppose
that a is the image under transgression in the universal G-principal
bundle of a certain cohomology class on F. Given any G-principal bundle E
on a compact manifold M, I will explain some of the main steps how to
construct explicitly a natural class in Deligne cohomology which
represents the a-characteristic class of the bundle E.
At the end I will dicuss some examples of characteristic classes
which satisfy the assumptions made in the main theorem of my diploma
thesis.
