Gerbes
Why is it interesting?
Gerbes show up when we try to invent a kind of "higher gauge theory" that describes how not just point particles but 1-dimensional objects transform when you move them around. For example, the strings in string theory, or the loops in loop quantum gravity.http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/week210.html
