Why are gerbes so scarce in recent research?

303 Views Asked by At

I have recently been exposed to gerbes for an undergraduate research project and I feel like this structure has very little mention anywhere really. Most papers that deal with anything relating to it are from the early 2000's and after 2009 or so, there's basically nothing. Why is this? Has it become a dead subject? Is it devoid of application? Any feedback is welcome.
