Abstract: We introduce a smooth variant of the Hopkins-Singer model of differential K-theory. We prove that our model is naturally isomorphic to the Hopkins-Singer model and also to the Tradler-Wilson-Zeinalian model of differential K-theory.

Review text

In differential \(K\)-theory, there are many models which are isomorphic to each other by the uniqueness of the axioms. In this paper, the author proves that if the continuous conditions in the Hopkins-Singer model are modified by the smooth condition, the two differential \(K\)-theories are isomorphic. Furthermore, he constructs an isomorphism explicitly from the Tradler-Wilson-Zeinalian model to his smooth version of the Hopkins-Singer model.
