The Freed--Quinn line bundle from higher geometry
Daniel Berwick-Evans, Emily Cliff, Laura Murray
For a finite group , and level , Freed and Quinn construct a line bundle over the moduli space of -bundles on surfaces. Global sections determine the…

Nested cobordisms, Cyl-objects and Temperley-Lieb algebras
Maxine E. Calle, Renee S. Hoekzema, Laura Murray +3
We introduce a discrete cobordism category for nested manifolds and nested cobordisms between them. A variation of stratified Morse theory applies in this case, and yields generato…

Homological perspective on edge modes in linear Yang-Mills and Chern-Simons theory
Philippe Mathieu, Laura Murray, Alexander Schenkel +1
We provide an elegant homological construction of the extended phase space for linear Yang-Mills theory on an oriented and time-oriented Lorentzian manifold with a time-like bo…
