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-Poincaré 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.
