Abstract: We introduce differentiable stacks and explain the relationship with Lie groupoids. Then we study -bundles and -gerbes over differentiable stacks. In particular, we establish the relationship between -gerbes and groupoid -central extensions. We define connections and curvings for groupoid -central extensions extending the corresponding notions of Brylinski, Hitchin and Murray for -gerbes over manifolds. We develop a Chern-Weil theory of characteristic classes in this general setting by presenting a construction of Chern classes and Dixmier-Douady classes in terms of analogues of connections and curvatures. We also describe a prequantization result for both -bundles and -gerbes extending the well-known result of Weil and Kostant. In particular, we give an explicit construction of -central extensions with prescribed curvature-like data.
