DESCRIPTION:Derived algebraic geometry and derived symplectic geometry in 
 the sense of Pantev-Toen-Vaqui&eacute\;-Vezzosi allows for a reinterpretat
 ion/analog of the classical AKSZ construction for certain $\\sigma$-models
 . It is given by taking mapping stacks with a fixed target building and de
 scribes ``semi-classical TFTs". Using the formalism of derived algebraic g
 eometry as a blackbox\,&nbsp\;I will sketch how this construction yields e
 xtended TFTs\, which involves harnessing many higher homotopies.&nbsp\;Thi
 s is joint work in progress with Damien Calaque and Rune Haugseng.
