abstract
We define the thin fundamental Gray 3-groupoid $S_3(M)$ of a smooth manifold $M$ and define (by using differential geometric data) 3-dimensional holonomies, to be smooth strict Gray 3-groupoid maps $S_3(M) \to C(H)$, where $H$ is a 2-crossed module of Lie groups and $C(H)$ is the Gray 3-groupoid naturally constructed from $H$. As an application, we define Wilson 3-sphere observables.

3-Crossed Module Structure in the Five-Dimensional Topological Axion Electrodynamics
The five-dimensional topological axion electrodynamics is shown to possess a 3-crossed module structure through modified Stueckelberg couplings required for background gauge invariance.

Generalized forms of types N = 1, 2 and higher gauge theory
Strict 2- and 3-gauge theory is re-expressed in a single generalized-form formalism in which higher connections, curvatures, Bianchi identities, and gauge transformations match ordinary gauge-theory form, yielding uni...

The 3BF theory as a TQFT
A boundary state sum for the 3BF theory is constructed and proved to satisfy Atiyah's axioms, giving a TQFT functor for finite 3-groups on triangulable 4-manifolds.
