Characteristic classes of flat symplectic bundles

Abstract:

I'll explain Kontsevich's approach, using Gelfand-Fuchs cohomology, to constructing characteristic classes of flat symplectic bundles. This can be used to talk about Rozansky-Witten invariants of holomorphic symplectic manifolds and construct cohomology classes on the moduli space of curves.
