Description
After recalling functorial field theories a la Atiyah-Segal I will explain a natural generalization thereof, called "twisted" field theories by Stolz-Teichner and closely related to Freed-Teleman's "relative" boundary field theories. Focussing on the topological “extended” case, I will explain how to obtain some examples, in particular some arising from factorization algebras.
