Idea

As opposed to ordinary Minkowski spacetime, super Minkowski spacetime has, when regarded as the super translation Lie algebra, exceptional cocycles. The super L-infinity algebra extensions classified by these serve as extended super-spacetimes which are target spaces for super pp-branes.

Notably the supergravity Lie 3-algebra is the extended Minkowski spacetime on which superspacetimes of 11-dimensional supergravity are modeled.
