| contents | Dijkgraaf-Witten theories have a wide range of applications in topological phases of matter and the study of generalized global symmetries. We develop a method to construct BF-type Lagrangians for Dijkgraaf-Witten theories with non-abelian gauge group by gauging $H^{(0)}$ symmetries from a BF-Lagrangian of an abelian Dijkgraaf-Witten theory. When $H$ nontrivially permutes the operators of the original theory, the Lagrangian of the $H$-gauged theory is constructed with cohomologies with local coefficients. We analyze the structure of the Lagrangians and their gauge transformations with homotopy theory. We also construct the operator spectrum and verify the Lagrangians by matching elementary linking invariants. |
