Twists and Gorms and Antifields, oh my!
Alex S. Arvanitakis
I define topological twists of supersymmetric field theories in the case when the supercharges involved obey an ``open'' algebra. Using the Batalin-Vilkovisky field-antifield forma…

Homotopy Manin Theories: Generalising Third-Way, Yang-Mills and Integrable Sigma Models
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Leron Borsten, Dimitri Kanakaris +1
Manin theories are a class of non-topological deformations of Chern-Simons theories that naturally realise the third-way mechanism and furthermore admit localisation despite not be…

On topological defects in Chern-Simons theory
Alex S. Arvanitakis, Lewis T. Cole, Saskia Demulder +1
We construct a new class of topological surface defects in Chern-Simons theory with non-compact, non-Abelian gauge groups. These defects are characterized by isotropic subalgebras…
