In this talk we will discuss three (intimately related) examples of 4-manifold invariants based on higher structures:
- VOA[M4] from transgression of EFTs;
- SW and Donaldson invariants as chiral algebra correlators;
- Massey triple products from trisections.
These topics are based, respectively, on work with A.Gadde, P.Putrov (and work to appear with B.Feigin); recent paper with M.Dedushenko and P.Putrov; and a solo paper of the speaker.
