Equivariant ordinary differential cohomology or equivariant Deligne cohomology is the equivariant cohomology-enhancement of ordinary differential cohomology (Deligne cohomology), equivalently the differential cohomology-enhancement of ordinary equivariant cohomology.
There is one evident general abstract definition of what this means concretely: Given a -action on some , the (Borel-)-equivariant ordinary differential cohomology of in degree is the (∞,1)-categorical hom-space in the cohesive (∞,1)-topos of Smooth∞Groupoids from the quotient stack to the Deligne complex .
That various definitions in the literature coincide with this one (in particular Kübel-Thom 15, and for finite groups also Lupercio-Uribe 01, Gomi 05) is discussed in (Park-Redden 19).
