The paper “Adjusting higher Chern-Simons theory“, co-authored by G. Gagliardo, D. Rist, C. Saemann (all three part of Heriot-Watt, and the Maxwell Institute), and Martin Wolf, has been published in the Journal of Mathematical Physics (open access link here). A fundamental problem in formulating higher Chern–Simons theories is the construction of a consistent higher gauge […]
