Twisted equivariant matter

DS Freed, GW Moore - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2013 - Springer
We show how general principles of symmetry in quantum mechanics lead to twisted notions
of a group representation. This framework generalizes both the classical threefold way of …

The 2-Hilbert space of a prequantum bundle gerbe

S Bunk, C Saemann, RJ Szabo - Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 2018 - World Scientific
We construct a prequantum 2-Hilbert space for any line bundle gerbe whose Dixmier–
Douady class is torsion. Analogously to usual prequantization, this 2-Hilbert space has the …

[图书][B] The Character Map in Non-abelian Cohomology: Twisted, Differential, and Generalized

D Fiorenza, H Sati, U Schreiber - 2024 - World Scientific
To set the scene, we begin here by reviewing basics of homotopy theory via model category
theory [Quillen (1967)](review in [Hovey (1999)][Hirschhorn (2003)][Lurie (2009a), A. 2]) and …

Connections on non-abelian gerbes and their holonomy

U Schreiber, K Waldorf - arXiv preprint arXiv:0808.1923, 2008 - arxiv.org
We introduce an axiomatic framework for the parallel transport of connections on gerbes. It
incorporates parallel transport along curves and along surfaces, and is formulated in terms …

[PDF][PDF] Equivariant principal∞-bundles

H Sati, U Schreiber - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.13654, 2022 - ncatlab.org
In this book we prove (Thm. 4. 3.24) unified classification results for stable equivariant Γ-
principal bundles when the underlying homotopy type SΓ of the topological structure group Γ …

The character map in (twisted differential) non-abelian cohomology

D Fiorenza, H Sati, U Schreiber - arXiv preprint arXiv:2009.11909, 2020 - arxiv.org
We extend the Chern character on K-theory, in its generalization to the Chern-Dold
character on generalized cohomology theories, further to (twisted, differential) non-abelian …

Spin structures and superstrings

J Distler, DS Freed, GW Moore - arXiv preprint arXiv:1007.4581, 2010 - arxiv.org
In superstring theory spin structures are present on both the 2-dimensional worldsheet and
10-dimensional spacetime. We present a new proposal for the B-field in superstring theory …

Equivariance in higher geometry

T Nikolaus, C Schweigert - Advances in Mathematics, 2011 - Elsevier
We study (pre-) sheaves in bicategories on geometric categories: smooth manifolds,
manifolds with a Lie group action and Lie groupoids. We present three main results: we …

[HTML][HTML] Construction and properties of a topological index for periodically driven time-reversal invariant 2D crystals

D Carpentier, P Delplace, M Fruchart, K Gawędzki… - Nuclear Physics B, 2015 - Elsevier
We present mathematical details of the construction of a topological invariant for periodically
driven two-dimensional lattice systems with time-reversal symmetry and quasienergy gaps …

Equivariant principal infinity-bundles

H Sati, U Schreiber - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.13654, 2021 - arxiv.org
In this book we prove unified classification results for equivariant principal bundles when the
topological structure group is truncated. The conceptually transparent proof invokes a …
