categorified gauge theory



We have had several discussions about aspects of categorified gauge theory
here on spr.

I am about to finish my thesis, which in large parts revolves around the
issue of constructing a notion of well defined global surface holonomy that
would generalize the idea of "Wilson lines" from particles to strings and
from the abelian to the "nonabelian" case.

Those interested can find a summary of my results here:

I offer adoughnut and an acknowledgement for every helpful comment that
makes it into the last changes within the next week or two.
