[PDF][PDF] Equivariant principal∞-bundles

H Sati, U Schreiber - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.13654, 2022 - ncatlab.org
In this book we prove (Thm. 4. 3.24) unified classification results for stable equivariant Γ-
principal bundles when the underlying homotopy type SΓ of the topological structure group Γ …

Four equivalent versions of nonabelian gerbes

T Nikolaus, K Waldorf - Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 2013 - msp.org
We recall and partially improve four versions of smooth, nonabelian gerbes: Čech cocycles,
classifying maps, bundle gerbes, and principal 2-bundles. We prove that all four versions …

Smooth 2-group extensions and symmetries of bundle gerbes

S Bunk, L Müller, RJ Szabo - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2021 - Springer
We study bundle gerbes on manifolds M that carry an action of a connected Lie group G. We
show that these data give rise to a smooth 2-group extension of G by the smooth 2-group of …

Equivariant principal infinity-bundles

H Sati, U Schreiber - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.13654, 2021 - arxiv.org
In this book we prove unified classification results for equivariant principal bundles when the
topological structure group is truncated. The conceptually transparent proof invokes a …

Higher geometry for non-geometric T-duals

T Nikolaus, K Waldorf - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2020 - Springer
We investigate topological T-duality in the framework of non-abelian gerbes and higher
gauge groups. We show that this framework admits the gluing of locally defined T-duals, in …

Geometry and 2-Hilbert space for nonassociative magnetic translations

S Bunk, L Müller, RJ Szabo - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2019 - Springer
We suggest a geometric approach to quantisation of the twisted Poisson structure
underlying the dynamics of charged particles in fields of generic smooth distributions of …

2-vector bundles

P Kristel, M Ludewig, K Waldorf - arXiv preprint arXiv:2106.12198, 2021 - arxiv.org
We develop a ready-to-use comprehensive theory for (super) 2-vector bundles over smooth
manifolds. It is based on the bicategory of (super) algebras, bimodules, and intertwiners as a …

Gerbes in geometry, field theory, and quantisation

S Bunk - Complex Manifolds, 2021 - degruyter.com
This is a mostly self-contained survey article about bundle gerbes and some of their recent
applications in geometry, field theory, and quantisation. We cover the definition of bundle …

The spinor bundle on loop space

M Ludewig - arXiv preprint arXiv:2305.12521, 2023 - arxiv.org
We give a construction of the spinor bundle of the loop space of a string manifold together
with its fusion product, inspired by ideas from Stolz and Teichner. The spinor bundle is a …

A representation of the string 2-group

P Kristel, M Ludewig, K Waldorf - arXiv preprint arXiv:2206.09797, 2022 - arxiv.org
We construct a representation of the string 2-group on a 2-vector space, namely on the
hyperfinite type III_1 von Neumann algebra. We prove that associating this representation to …
