contents We establish the splitting principle for differential K-theory, a refinement of topological K-theory that incorporates geometric data via differential forms. Using this principle, we prove that the differential $K^0$-ring associated to closed smooth manifolds admits a $λ$-ring structure. This structure enables a concrete construction of the Adams operations in differential K-theory introduced by Bunke. At last, we extend all these results to an equivariant setting associated with a compact Lie group action.
