Generalized Higher Gauge Theory and M5-brane dynamics. Proceedings: Higher structures in String and M-theory, Tohoku Forum for Creativity, March 7-11 2016
Patricia Ritter
We give a review of truncated L algebras, as used in the study of higher gauge theory. These structures are believed to hold the correct properties to adequately describe…
Generalized Higher Gauge Theory
Patricia Ritter, Christian Saemann, Lennart Schmidt
We study a generalization of higher gauge theory which makes use of generalized geometry and seems to be closely related to double field theory. The local kinematical data of this…
-Algebra Models and Higher Chern-Simons Theories
Patricia Ritter, Christian Saemann
We continue our study of zero-dimensional field theories in which the fields take values in a strong homotopy Lie algebra. In a first part, we review in detail how higher Chern-Sim…
Automorphisms of Strong Homotopy Lie Algebras of Local Observables
Patricia Ritter, Christian Saemann
There is a well-established procedure of assigning a strong homotopy Lie algebra of local observables to a multisymplectic manifold which can be regarded as part of a categorified…
Lie 2-algebra models
Patricia Ritter, Christian Saemann
In this paper, we begin the study of zero-dimensional field theories with fields taking values in a semistrict Lie 2-algebra. These theories contain the IKKT matrix model and vario…
An Exact Conformal Symmetry Ansatz on Kaluza-Klein Reduced TMG
George Moutsopoulos, Patricia Ritter
Using a Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction, and further imposing a conformal Killing symmetry on the reduced metric generated by the dilaton, we show an Ansatz that yields many of…
