Non-holonomic G-structures and supersymmetric field theories
The groundbreaking work of Becchi-Rouet-Stora and Tyutin marks the beginning of (or is at least a synecdoche for) the application of techniques from homological algebra to field theories. Such ideas have flourished over the intervening fifty years, encompassing not only gauge symmetry, but also the dynamics of Lagrangian field theories (after Batalin and Vilkovisky) and the theory of anomalies. I will discuss some modern developments of this line of ideas in the context of supersymmetric field theory.
