Abstract

We show that the action of residual supersymmetries in holomorphic-topological twists of N=2N = 2 theories in three dimensions naturally extends to the action of certain infinite dimensional Lie superalgebras. We demonstrate this in a range of examples, including N=4N = 4 Yang-Mills theories and superconformal Chern-Simons theories, describing how the symmetries are implemented at the level of local operators.
