L โ-Algebra Connections and Applications to String- and Chern-Simons n-Transport
We give a generalization of the notion of a Cartan-Ehresmann connection from Lie algebras to L โ-algebras and use it to study the obstruction theory of lifts through higher String-like extensions of Lie algebras. We find (generalized) Chern-Simons and BF-theory functionals this way and describe aspects of their parallel transport โฆ
