   Format: MarkdownItexLooks interesting * Darrick Lee, Harald Oberhauser, _Random Surfaces and Higher Algebra_ [[arXiv:2311.08366](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.08366)]. We don't yet have a 'random surface' entry, a concept used by Polyakov in [string theory](Polyakov+gauge-string+duality+--+references#Polyakov08).

   Format: MarkdownItexMaybe an entry on random surfaces would be worthwhile (your link on "string theory" was meant to point to [Polyakov 2008](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Polyakov+gauge-string+duality+--+references#Polyakov08)). But first and foremost that article should be cited at *[[higher parallel transport]]*. Have now added it [there](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/higher+parallel+transport#LeeOberhauser23).
