Abstract

Motivated by the Chern-Weil theory, we prove that for a given vector bundle EE on a smooth scheme XX over a field kk of any characteristic, the Chern classes of EE in the Hodge cohomology can be recovered from the Atiyah class. Although this problem was solved by Illusie in \cite{i}, we present another proof by means of derived algebraic geometry. Also, for a scheme XX over a field kk of characteristic pp with a vector bundle EE we construct elements cncris(E,α(E))HdR2n(X)c^{cris}_n (E, \alpha(E)) \in H_{dR}^{2n} (X) using an obstruction α(E)\alpha(E) to a lifting of FEF^* E to a crystal modulo p2p^2 and prove that cncris(E,α(E))=n!cndR(E)c^{cris}_n (E, \alpha(E)) = n! \cdot c_{n}^{dR} (E), where cndR(E)c_{n}^{dR} (E) are the Chern classes of EE in the de Rham cohomology and FF is the Frobenius map.
