An introduction to BPS states II

Abstract/Media

Zoom Link

Continuing from Andy Neitzke's talk last week I will describe some mathematics behind counting BPS states in 4d N=2 gauge theories. In particular, I will sketch a connection between cohomological Donaldson—Thomas invariants and BPS states.
