          Abstract

          We present a formula for the full Cheeger-Chern-Simons class of the tautological flat complex vector bundle of rank two over BSL(2,\C^\delta). Our formula improves the formula by Dupont and Zickert, where the class is only computed modulo 2-torsion.

          Extended Bloch group and the Cheeger-Chern-Simons class

          (2004)
          We define an extended Bloch group and show it is naturally isomorphic to H_3(PSL(2,C)^\delta ;Z). Using the Rogers dilogarithm function this leads to an exact simplicial formula for the universal Cheeger-Chern-Simons class on this homology group. It also leads to an independent proof of the analytic relationship between volume and Chern-Simons invariant of hyperbolic 3-manifolds conjectured by Neumann and Zagier [Topology 1985] and proved by Yoshida [Invent. Math. 1985] as well as effective formulae for the Chern-Simons invariant of a hyperbolic 3-manifold.
