Abstract: Using the Wodzicki residue, we build Wodzicki-Chern-Simons (WCS) classes in H2k1(LM) associated to the residue Chern character on the loop space LM of a Riemannian manifold M2k1. These WCS classes are associated to the L2 connection and the Sobolev s=1 connections on LM. The WCS classes detect several families of 5-manifolds whose diffeomorphism group has infinite fundamental group. These manifolds are the total spaces of the circle bundles associated to a multiple pomega,|p|gg0, of the K"ahler form omega over an integral K"ahler surface.
