Popis: | Gerbes and higher gerbes are geometric cocycles representing higher degree cohomology classes, and are attracting considerable interest in differential geometry and mathematical physics. We prove that a 2-gerbe has a torsion Dixmier–Douady class if and only if the gerbe has locally constant cocycle data. As an application, we give an alternative description of flat twisted vector bundles in terms of locally constant transition maps. These results generalize to n-gerbes for n=1 and n≥3, providing insights into the structure of higher gerbes and their applications to the geometry of twisted vector bundles. |
