Deformations of maximally supersymmetric gauge theories
abstract
I'll discuss a classification of higher derivative deformations that preserve 16 supersymmetries in gauge theories in various dimensions, and a construction of maximally supersymmetric non-Abelian Born-Infeld theory based on pure spinor superspace formalism.
