On 2-form gauge models of topological phases

Abstract We explore 2-form topological gauge theories in (3+1)d. These theories can be constructed as sigma models with target space the second classifying space B 2 G of the symmetry group G, and they are classified by cohomology classes of B 2 G. For finite symmetry groups, 2-form topological theo...
