Description

We give an informal introduction to the new field of derived symplectic geometry (after Pantev-Toën-Vaquié-Vezzosi), and present some applications to topological field theories. We in particular explain that derived symplectic geometry provides a suitable framework for the so-called AKSZ construction (after Alexandrov-Kontsevich-Schwartz-Zaboronski).
Mots Clés / Keywords n-symplectic structure, Lagrangian structure, derived stacks
