Higher Structures in M-Theory
Branislav Jurco, Christian Saemann, Urs Schreiber +1
The key open problem of string theory remains its non-perturbative completion to M-theory. A decisive hint to its inner workings comes from numerous appearances of higher structure…
Towards an M5-Brane Model I: A 6d Superconformal Field Theory
Christian Saemann, Lennart Schmidt
We present an action for a six-dimensional superconformal field theory containing a non-abelian tensor multiplet. All of the ingredients of this action have been available in the l…
Extended Riemannian Geometry II: Local Heterotic Double Field Theory
Andreas Deser, Marc Andre Heller, Christian Saemann
We continue our exploration of local Double Field Theory (DFT) in terms of symplectic graded manifolds carrying compatible derivations and study the case of heterotic DFT. We start…
Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory as Higher Chern-Simons Theory
Christian Saemann, Martin Wolf
We observe that the string field theory actions for the topological sigma models describe higher or categorified Chern-Simons theories. These theories yield dynamical equations for…
Extended Riemannian Geometry I: Local Double Field Theory
Andreas Deser, Christian Saemann
We present an extended version of Riemannian geometry suitable for the description of current formulations of double field theory (DFT). This framework is based on graded manifolds…
Higher Groupoid Bundles, Higher Spaces, and Self-Dual Tensor Field Equations
Branislav Jurco, Christian Saemann, Martin Wolf
We develop a description of higher gauge theory with higher groupoids as gauge structure from first principles. This approach captures ordinary gauge theories and gauged sigma mode…
