Topological field theories give rise to a wealth of algebraic structures, extending
the E_n algebra expressing the "topological OPE of local operators". We may interpret these algebraic structures as defining (slightly noncommutative) algebraic varieties and stacks, called moduli stacks of vacua, and relations among them. I will discuss some examples of these structures coming from the geometric Langlands program and their applications. Based on joint work with Andy Neitzke and Sam Gunningham.
