dc.description.abstractHaving as starting point a formula described in the paper of Baum & Douglas, [BmDg] the odd-degree component of the Chern character is is analyzed. Our presentation uses the obstruction theory definition Chern characteristic classes in order to emphasize the connections with the even-degree component (see Theorem 4.3.1) and leads to a natural justification of the fundamental property of the Chern character, i.e. of being a ring homomorphism. The reader is assumed to have some background in topological Δ-theory and algebraic topology.en
