Infinitesimal symmetries of Dixmier-Douady gerbes
This thesis introduces the infinitesimal symmetries of Dixmier-Douady gerbes over smooth manifolds. The collection of these symmetries are the counterpart for gerbes of the Lie algebra of circle invariant vector fields on principal circle bundles, and are intimately related to connective structures...
