DESCRIPTION: The aim of the talk is to introduce some notions of higher ga
 uge theory for a physics audience. Higher gauge theory is a generalization
  of standard gauge theory\, where everything is raised one (or more) dimen
 sions\, e.g. the gauge potentials become anti-symmetric 2-index tensors\, 
 and the field strengths become antisymmetric 3-index tensors.The geometric
  language of differential forms provides a useful framework for describing
  higher gauge theory. The connections in the title refer both to the mathe
 matical term for gauge potentials and to links with notions more familiar 
 to physicists\, such as monopoles\, the standard model\, Wilson loops etc.
