Description
The stringor bundle has been anticipated by pioneering work of Stephan Stolz and Peter Teichner, as a string-theoretic analog of the spinor bundle of quantum mechanics. In this talk, I will explain a neat construction of the stringor bundle as an associated 2-vector bundle. The main ingeredients are a new model for the string 2-group and a representation of that 2-group on a von Neumann algebra.
