On Killing superalgebras and filtered deformations
📍 London
Andrea Santi
(University of Edinburgh, Marie-Curie INdAM)
Abstract:
I will present ongoing work with J. Figueroa-O’Farrill and P. de Medeiros
on the algebraic structure of Lie superalgebras \(g = g_0 \oplus g_1\) generated by Killing spinors. I will explain how any \(g\) can be regarded as an appropriate
deformation of a subalgebra of the Poincaré superalgebra and discuss applications to the classification of supersymmetric supergravity backgrounds
and the geometries admitting rigidly supersymmetric field theories.

Bootstrapping N=2 SCFTs
Madalena Lemos
(DESY Hamburg)
Abstract:
In this talk we will discuss the bootstrap program applied to four-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories, with focus on analytical results. After a brief review of the protected subsector captured by a two-dimensional chiral algebra, we will show how analytic bounds on anomaly coefficients are obtained and constrain the space of allowed SCFTs. Finally we will comment the implications for the numerical bootstrap program.
