We propose a quantum surface wave functional describing the interaction between a colored membrane and a quantized Yang Mills. Additionally, we deduce its associated wave equation in the t'Hooft Nc-infinite limit. We show that it reproduces…

Bundle gerbes are a higher version of line bundles, we present nonabelian bundle gerbes as a higher version of principal bundles. Connection, curving, curvature and gauge transformations are studied both in a global coordinate independent…
