Higher Symmetries in Twisted Eleven-Dimensional Supergravity
Abstract
In supersymmetric theories, protected quantities can be reorganized into holomorphic-topological theories by twisting. Recently, it was observed by Jonsson, Kim and Young that residual super-Poincar\'e symmetries in certain twisted theories can receive higher corrections, turning them into L∞ algebras with non-strict actions on the twisted fields. In this note, we show that the same phenomenon occurs for the two admissible twists of eleven-dimensional supergravity. Along the way, we discuss in detail the connection between components of physical and twisted fields.
