Higher Wess-Zumino-Witten term from semistrict higher Chern-Simons theory
Mengyao Wu
We show that in any dimensions, the higher Chern-Simons action built from a semistrict Lie 2-algebra gives a non-trivial higher Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term under a higher…

Higher descent equations based on 2-term algebras
Mengyao Wu, Danhua Song, Jie Yang
In this paper, we develop the higher descent equations for higher gauge theories within the framework of 2-term algebras. Starting from a multilinear symmetric invaria…

Chern-Simons Type Characteristic Classes of Abelian Lattice Gauge Theory
Mengyao Wu, Jie Yang
In this paper,we extend the definition of the Chern-Simons type characteristic classes in the continuous case to abelian lattice gauge theory. Then, we show that the exterior diffe…
