This is a research project, which I had laid out in 2014. I developed this into an application for an EPSRC grant. The reports (pdf) had been outstanding (“truly the mathematics of the 21st century … we really need more applicants of this calibre in this country”) but at the interview apparently I didn’t give a satisfactory answer to the question “But why then did you apply with this at University of Surrey?”, despite my argument that their then newly established group “Fields, Strings and Geometry” seemed to be just right for this kind of research. Unfortunatly, the mind-numbing process of these grant proposals reduced my initial enthusiasm for the actual research. But once I have recovered, I may come back to this at some point:
Higher theta functions and higher CS-WZW holography
a research program (Sept 2014)
exposition: pdf
technical details: pdf
referee report: pdf
presentation slides: pdf
differential cohomology in a cohesive topos
Higher geometric prequantum theory
L-∞ algebras of local observables from higher prequantum bundles
Higher theta functions and higher CS-WZW holography
