DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/IMSRS/3/">Di
 fferential Cohomology and Gerbes: An Introduction to Higher Differential G
 eometry II</a>\nby Byungdo Park (Chungbuk National University) as part of 
 IUT Mathematics Research Seminars (IMRS)\n\nLecture held in https://meet.g
 oogle.com/rhw-ernk-ndg.\n\nAbstract\nDifferential cohomology is a topic th
 at has been attracting considerable interest. Many interesting application
 s in mathematics and physics have been known\; description of WZW terms\, 
 string structures\, study of conformal immersions\, classifications of Ram
 ond- Ramond fields to list a few\, and it is also an interesting applicati
 on of the theory of infinity categories. I will try to give an audience-fr
 iendly overview of differential cohomology and a classification of higher 
 line bundles (a. k. a. U(1)-banded gerbes) with connection. I will start f
 rom scratch and assume only some basic differential geometry and algebraic
  topology so that it would be accessible to most graduate students.\n
