DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/TQFT/111/">D
 eformations of objects in higher categories</a>\nby Pranav Prandit (Tata I
 nstitute of Fundamental Research) as part of Topological Quantum Field The
 ory Club (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nI will describe a map that associat
 es to every deformation of an object in a higher category a collection of 
 generalized symmetries of the object. Building on work by Lurie\, we will 
 see that the failure of this map to be an equivalence can be quantified. U
 nder favorable circumstances\, the map is an equivalence\, and this leads 
 to an explicit description of the space of deformations in terms of soluti
 ons to certain equations. I will discuss applications of these results to 
 topological field theory and holomorphic symplectic geometry. This talk is
  based on joint work with Bhanu Kiran.\n
