Only part of my previous talk is relevant and brief notes for that are available

The chief application in the talk is the study of higher String-like structures on manifolds, their relation to higher String-like extensions and the obstruction theory of lifts through through such extensions. The prequel talk will be reviewed briefly; brief notes on that talk are available from the speaker.
