Synthetic geometry of differential equations: I. Jets and comonad structure
read the original abstract
We give an abstract formulation of the formal theory partial differential equations (PDEs) in synthetic differential geometry, one that would seamlessly generalize the traditional theory to a range of enhanced contexts, such as super-geometry, higher (stacky) differential geometry, or even a combination of both. A motivation for such a level of generality is the eventual goal of solving the open problem of covariant geometric pre-quantization of locally variational field theories, which may include fermions and (higher) gauge fields.

Bulk-Edge Correspondence via Higher Gauge Theory
Bulk-edge correspondence for fractional quantum Hall systems is realized as relative higher gauge theory from the complex Hopf fibration, geometrically engineered via M2/M5-branes and TED Cohomotopy flux quantization.
