Abstract: We generalize Abel's classical theorem on linear equivalence of divisors on a Riemann surface. For every closed submanifold

M^{d} s u b s e t X^{n}

in a compact oriented Riemannian

n

--manifold, or more generally for any

d

--cycle

Z

relative to a triangulation of

X

, we define a (simplicial)

(n - d - 1)

--gerbe

L a m b d a_{Z}

, the Abel gerbe determined by

Z

, whose vanishing as a Deligne cohomology class generalizes the notion of `linear equivalence to zero'. In this setting, Abel's theorem remains valid. Moreover we generalize the classical Inversion Theorem for the Abel--Jacobi map, thereby proving that the moduli space of Abel gerbes is isomorphic to the harmonic Deligne cohomology; that is, gerbes with harmonic curvature.
