We review definitions of generalized parallel transports in terms ofCheeger-Simons differential characters. Integration formulae are given in termsof Deligne-Beilinson cohomology classes. These representations of paralleltransport can be extended to situations involving distributions as isappropriate in the context of quantized fields.Comment: 41 pages, no figure
