In mathematics, ∞-Chern–Weil theory is a generalized formulation of Chern–Weil theory from differential geometry using the formalism of higher category theory. The theory is named after Shiing-Shen Chern and André Weil, who first constructed the Chern–Weil homomorphism in the 1940s, although the generalization was not developed by them.
