Watch a conference talk from the Arithmetic Quantum Field Theory Conference where Davide Gaiotto from Perimeter Institute explores the concept of unexpected unitarity in Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theories (SQFTs). Dive into the mathematical complexities of twisted theories, which simplify QFTs into topological or holomorphic forms suitable for rigorous mathematical analysis. Learn how the twisting procedure, while typically obscuring unitarity properties, can surprisingly restore certain forms of unitarity, leading to unexpected structural discoveries. Explore applications in various mathematical frameworks including the Analytic Langlands program, Symplectic Duality's analytic version, A-model quantization, and constructions involving Hodge-theoretic and twistorial aspects.
