Higher gauge theory is a generalization of traditional gauge theory that incorporates higher-dimensional structures, often characterized by the presence of higher category theory. In typical gauge theories, such as those used in particle physics, one finds gauge fields associated with symmetries represented by groups. These gauge fields are typically connections on principal bundles. In higher gauge theories, the focus extends to fields that can be described not just by 0-cochains (i.e.
