A dilogarithmic formula for the Cheeger–Chern–Simons class

Johan L Dupont and Christian K Zickert

Geometry & Topology 10 (2006) 1347–1372

arXiv: 0903.0284

Abstract

We present a simplification of Neumann’s formula for the universal Cheeger–Chern–Simons class of the second Chern polynomial. Our approach is completely algebraic, and the final formula can be applied directly on a homology class in the bar complex.
