The higher lattice gauge theory model for topological phases of matter

Topological phases of matter are characterised by long-range entanglement between their constituent degrees of freedom, which allows them to host excitations with non-trivial exchange statistics. While topological phases in 2+1d are relatively well studied, less is known about their 3+1d counterpart...
