TLDR
In this article, a simple interpretation of Gaiotto's construction in terms of derived symplectic geometry is given, where symplectic G-representations are replaced by arbitrary symplectic manifolds equipped with a Hamiltonian G-action and with an action of the multiplicative group that rescales the symplectic form with positive weight.
Abstract
Let BunG be the moduli space of G-bundles on a smooth complex projective curve. Motivated by a study of boundary conditions in mirror symmetry, Gaiotto (2016) associated to any symplectic representation of G a Lagrangian subvariety of T∗BunG. We give a simple interpretation of (a generalization of) Gaiotto’s construction in terms of derived symplectic geometry. This allows to consider a more general setting where symplectic G-representations are replaced by arbitrary symplectic manifolds equipped with a Hamiltonian G-action and with an action of the multiplicative group that rescales the symplectic form with positive weight.

Shifted Symplectic Structures

TL;DR: Toen and Vezzosi as discussed by the authors introduced the notion of n-shifted symplectic structures (n-symplectic structures for short), a generalization of the concept of symplectic structure on smooth varieties and schemes, meaningful in the setting of derived Artin n-stacks.
