In mathematics, ∞-Chern–Simons theory (not to be confused with infinite-dimensional Chern–Simons theory) is a generalized formulation of Chern–Simons theory from differential geometry using the formalism of higher category theory, which in particular studies ∞-categories. It is obtained by taking general abstract analogs of all involved concepts defined in any cohesive ∞-topos, for example that of smooth ∞-groupoids.
