ADE spectral networks

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We introduce a new perspective and a generalization of spectral networks for 4d mathcalN=2 theories of class mathcalS associated to Lie algebras mathfrakg=extrmAn, extrmDn, extrmE6, and extrmE7. Spectral networks directly compute the BPS spectra of 2d theories on surface defects coupled to the 4d theories. A Lie algebraic interpretation of these spectra emerges naturally from our construction, leading to a new description of 2d-4d wall-crossing phenomena. Our construction also provides an efficient framework for the study of BPS spectra of the 4d theories. In addition, we consider novel types of surface defects associated with minuscule representations of mathfrakg.
