In the 2004-2005 academic year, the Quantum Gravity Seminar
at UCR is about gauge theory and topology. Derek Wise is
taking notes on my lectures.
In week 5:
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/qg-fall2004/f04week05.pdf
we continued our history of categories and physics to roughly
the present, leaving out a lot of interesting stuff. We focused
on n-categorical constructions of topological quantum field
theories, and how these fit into the "periodic table" of n-categories.
People are still trying to work out the details here!
A more detailed version of this history, still in draft form,
can be found in pages 23-28 of this paper:
