DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/IMSRS/4/">Di
 fferential Cohomology and Gerbes: An Introduction to Higher Differential G
 eometry III</a>\nby Byungdo Park (Chungbuk National University) as part of
  IUT Mathematics Research Seminars (IMRS)\n\nLecture held in https://meet.
 google.com/rhw-ernk-ndg.\n\nAbstract\nDifferential cohomology is a topic t
 hat has been attracting considerable interest. Many interesting applicatio
 ns in mathematics and physics have been known\; description of WZW terms\,
  string structures\, study of conformal immersions\, classifications of Ra
 mond- Ramond fields to list a few\, and it is also an interesting applicat
 ion of the theory of infinity categories. I will try to give an audience-f
 riendly overview of differential cohomology and a classification of higher
  line bundles (a. k. a. U(1)-banded gerbes) with connection. I will start 
 from scratch and assume only some basic differential geometry and algebrai
 c topology so that it would be accessible to most graduate students.\n
