A bstract Five-dimensional gauge and gravity theories are known to exhibit striking
properties. D= 5 is the lowest dimension where massive tensor states appear naturally …

This is an invited survey article on higher gauge theory for the Encyclopedia of Mathematical
Physics, 2nd edition. In particular, we provide a lightning introduction to higher structures …

We construct manifestly superconformal field theories in six dimensions which contain a non-
Abelian tensor multiplet. In particular, we show how principal 3-bundles over a suitable …

In this paper, we develop the mathematical formulation of metric string structures. These play
a crucial role in the formulation of certain six‐dimensional superconformal field theories and …

We present an action for a six-dimensional superconformal field theory containing a non-
abelian tensor multiplet. All of the ingredients of this action have been available in the …

A bstract We compute the conformal anomaly a-coefficient for some non-unitary (higher
derivative or non-gauge-invariant) 6d conformal fields and their supermultiplets. We use the …

A bstract We develop semistrict higher gauge theory from first principles. In particular, we
describe the differential Deligne cohomology underlying semistrict principal 2-bundles with …

A bstract We show that the conformal anomaly for NM 5-branes grows like N 3. The method
we employ relates Coulomb branch interactions in six dimensions to interactions in four …

A bstract We propose a superspace formulation of\(\mathcal {N}=\left ({1, 0}\right)\) conformal
supergravity in six dimensions. The corresponding superspace constraints are invariant …

A bstract We construct six-dimensional superconformal models with non-abelian tensor and
hypermultiplets. They describe the field content of (2, 0) theories, coupled to (1, 0) vector …
