dc.descriptionThis paper contains the constructions of a real manifold version of relative K-theory, and of an extension of Karoubi's multiplicative K-theory suggested by U. Bunke (which I call ``free multiplicative K-theory'' in the sequel). Chern-Simons-Nadel type classes on relative K-theory are constructed, while it is proved that on free multiplicative K-theory, there is a notion of Chern-Weil character form, and of a Borel-type characteristic class (which is a differential form modulo exact forms) which recovers the classes $c_k$ of flat vector bundles studied by Bismut and Lott. Finally, a direct image for relative K-theory under proper submersion of compact orientable real manifolds is constructed.
dc.descriptionConstruction of the topological K-theoretic direct image representatives shortened, considerations added about fibral Hodge symmetry and name of ``transgressive K-theory'' changed to ''free multiplicative K-theory''
