Abstract:
We show the compatibility of the differential geometric and the topological formulation of equivariant characteristic classes for compact Lie group. The construction also motivates a differential geometric construction in the non-compact case. This compatibility is generally assumed, but there is only a proof for compact connected Lie groups in the literature, see [BottTu01].
