Differential cohomology in a cohesive infinity-topos
U Schreiber - arXiv preprint arXiv:1310.7930, 2013 - arxiv.org
We formulate differential cohomology and Chern-Weil theory--the theory of connections on
fiber bundles and of gauge fields--abstractly in the context of a certain class of higher …

Notes on generalized global symmetries in QFT
E Sharpe - Fortschritte der Physik, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
It was recently argued that quantum field theories possess one‐form and higher‐form
symmetries, labelled 'generalized global symmetries.'In this paper, we describe how those …

Twisted Cohomotopy implies M5-brane anomaly cancellation
H Sati, U Schreiber - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2021 - Springer
We highlight what seems to be a remaining subtlety in the argument for the cancellation of
the total anomaly associated with the M5-brane in M-theory. Then, we prove that this subtlety …
