Abstract
In this talk, I will introduce a 3d topological-holomorphic integrable field theory based on the structure of strict Lie 2-groups. Its higher currents and the geometric properties of their holonomies will be analyzed, which exhibit direct analogues of those in the 2d Wess-Zumino-Witten model. Then, I will introduce a higher homotopy generalization of the Kac-Moody algebra, and demonstrate that it underpins not only the global symmetries of our specific 3d model, but also the theory of higher Lax integrability in general. At the end, I will observe that this model seem to be intimately related to both the raviolo VOAs of Garner-Williams and the lasagna modules of Manolescu-Walker-Wedrich, and hence could be used to produce higher-skein 4d invariants from higher quantum algebras.
