Abelian gerbes as a gauge theory of quantum mechanics on phase space
  We construct a U(1) gerbe with a connection over a finite-dimensional, classical phase space P. The connection is given by a triple of forms A,B,H: a potential 1-form A, a Neveu-Schwarz potential 2-form B, and a field-strength 3-form H=dB. All three of them are defined exclusively in terms of elements already present in P, the only external input being Planck's constant h. U(1) gauge transformations acting on the triple A,B,H are also defined, parametrised either by a 0-form or by a 1-form. While H remains gauge invariant in all cases, quantumness vs. classicality appears as a choice of 0-form gauge for the 1-form A. The fact that [H]/2i\pi is an integral class in de Rham cohomology is related with the discretisation of symplectic area on P. This is an equivalent, coordinate-free reexpression of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. A choice of 1-form gauge for the 2-form B relates our construction with generalised complex structures on classical phase space. Altogether this allows one to interpret the quantum mechanics corresponding to P as an Abelian gauge theory.
