The paper “Semistrict higher gauge theory“, with co-authors Branislav Jurco (Charles University, Czech Republic), Christian Saemann (Heriot-Watt), and Martin Wolf, has been published in the Journal of High Energy Physics. A link to the paper is here. In the paper they develop semistrict higher gauge theory from first principles. In particular, they describe the differential Deligne […]

The paper “Phase dynamics of periodic waves leading to the KP equation in 3+1 dimensions“, co-authored by Daniel Ratliff and Tom Bridges, has been accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. In the paper it shown that the KP equation is the relevant modulation equation for bifurcation from periodic travelling waves when […]
