abstract

In this note we review a construction of a BPS Hilbert space in an effective supersymmetric quiver theory with 4 supercharges. We argue abstractly that this space contains elements of an equivariant generalized cohomology theory $E_G^{*}(-)$ of the quiver representation moduli space giving concretely Dolbeault cohomology, K-theory or elliptic cohomology depending on the spacial slice is compactified to a point, a circle or a torus respectively, and something more amorphous in other cases. Furthermore BPS instantons -- basic contributors to interface defects or a Berry connection -- induce a BPS algebra on the BPS Hilbert spaces representing Fourier-Mukai transforms on the quiver representation moduli spaces descending to an algebra over $E_G^{*}(-)$ as its representation. In the cases when the quiver describes a toric Calabi-Yau three-fold (CY${}_3$) the algebra is a respective generalization of the quiver BPS Yangian algebra discussed in the literature, in more general cases it is given by an abstract generalized cohomological Hall algebra.

Crystals and Double Quiver Algebras from Jeffrey-Kirwan Residues

hep-th · 2025-01-06 · conditional · novelty 7.0

For quivers satisfying a no-overlap condition, flavored BPS indices are computed by crystal melting derived from Jeffrey-Kirwan residues, and new double quiver algebras are constructed whose crystal representations encode the counting, including theories with two supercharges.
