Abstract

For a manifold MM with an integral closed 3-form ω\omega, we construct a PU(H)PU(H)-bundle and a Lie groupoid over its total space, together with a curving in the sense of gerbes. If the form is non-degenerate, we furthermore give a natural Lie 2-algebra quasi-isomorphism from the observables of (M,ω)(M,\omega) to the weak symmetries of the above geometric structure, generalising the prequantisation map of Kostant and Souriau.
