abstract
In this note we study the "conformal limit" of the TBA equations which describe the geometry of the moduli space of four-dimensional N=2 gauge theories compactified on a circle. We argue that the resulting conformal TBA equations describe a generalization of the oper submanifold in the space of complex flat connections on a Riemann surface. In particular, the conformal TBA equations for theories in the A1 class produce solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation with a rational potential.

A new conformal limit for Nakajima quiver varieties is defined and shown to produce biholomorphic maps between foliating holomorphic Lagrangian submanifolds of two different quiver varieties.
In the classical strong-coupling regime, half-BPS correlation functions in planar N=4 SYM exponentiate under the hexagon formalism and are governed by TBA equations structurally equivalent to Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke equations, enabling a chi-system for both polygonal and closed geometries.
Derives TBA equations for the higher-order Mathieu equation of the SU(r+1) quantum Seiberg-Witten curve, obtains an analytic effective central charge from Y-function boundary conditions at theta to -infinity, and verifies subleading analytic plus higher-order numerical agreement with WKB expansions.
A comprehensive introduction to spectral networks that develops higher-rank Teichmüller theory in parallel with class S gauge theory and BPS spectra.
