Higher YM Theories and the Compactification in String Theory

J. Król

The Higher YM theories generalize these of the standard model of particles. From the string theory side, the geometrical constructions of gerbes appear, when describing non-vanishing B-fields on branes. Both, higher YM and gerbes are proved to be the same mathematical object. Thus, a natural candidate for the intermediate stage of the compactification in string theory appears. Moreover, replacing smooth 2-spaces by some categories of smooth topoi gives rise to the generalized spacetime based on topoi.
