Review text

The authors present the expression of the curvature on a determinant bundle associated to the action of a Lie group \(G\) on a Riemannian manifold \(X\) in terms of the first Chern form of a trivial vector bundle built up from \(X\) and \(G\). Also, this result is extended in the infinite dimensional setting to the example of diffeomorphisms acting on almost complex structures on a Riemannian surface in which case the first Chern form vanishes. The geometry of the associated determinant bundle is investigated. The details of the computations can be found in a forthcoming paper of the present authors. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0914.00060].
