DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/TQFT/46/">Ex
 ceptional super Lie algebras in twisted M-theory</a>\nby Brian R. Williams
  (University of Edinburgh) as part of Topological Quantum Field Theory Clu
 b (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nWith Saberi and Raghavendran we constructe
 d\, in the BV formalism\, the minimal\, holomorphic\, twist of 11-dimensio
 nal supergravity. Amazingly\, on flat space\, the theory shares a close re
 lationship to an exceptional simple super Lie algebra called E(5\,10). Mot
 ivated by holographic duality\, I’ll turn attention to symmetries of the
  theories on M2 and M5 branes. In the twisted setting\, we find that the s
 uperconformal algebra enhances to other infinite-dimensional exceptional s
 uper Lie algebras. I will discuss further extensions of these exceptional 
 algebras to factorization algebras and applications to pinning down correl
 ation functions in M-theory.\n
