superalgebra and (synthetic ) supergeometry
A supersymmetric extension of plain Yang-Mills theory.
The existence of super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories of a certain number of supersymmetries in a certain dimension of spacetime is linked to the existence of certain cocycles on the super Poincaré Lie algebra (those that also govern the brane scan). These in turn are closely related to the normed division algebras. See (ABDH 13). See also at division algebra and supersymmetry.
This classification may be paired with that for supergravity theories, to yield a magic pyramid of super Einstein-Yang-Mills theories.
