DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/TQFT/127/">T
 opological twists of superconformal field theory</a>\nby Chris Elliott (Am
 herst College) as part of Topological Quantum Field Theory Club (IST\, Lis
 bon)\n\n\nAbstract\nIn quantum field theory\, "twisting" is a procedure fo
 r producing new theories from old\, where the new theories have particular
 ly nice symmetry properties (for example\, topological quantum field theor
 ies). The twisting construction involves the choice of a nilpotent element
  of a super Lie algebra that acts on the theory. I will discuss joint work
  with Owen Gwilliam and Matteo Lotito on twisting for theories with an act
 ion of a superconformal algebra and the appearance of interesting algebrai
 c structures such as vertex algebras and $E_n$ algebras.\n
