Schreiber Higher Chern-Simons theory Introduction

I gave a lecture series at the workshop

• Chern-Simons Theory: Geometry, Topology and Physics University of Pittsburgh (May 2013)

on the local prequantum field theory of infinity-Chern-Simons theory-type.

The lecture notes now constitute now part of the section Local prequantum field theory at geometry of physics.
