Abstract

In four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric quantum field theories, half-BPS line defects survive the HT twist and are expected to form a monoidal category equipped with renormalized r-matrices. The Grothendieck group of this category is anticipated to coincide with the cluster algebra associated to the BPS quiver Q. Starting from such a quiver, we propose a candidate for such a category - roughly speaking, to each possible framing we associate a bimodule over the Cohomological Hall algebra of Q, and consider the subcategory they generate. We conjecture that this construction satisfies the expected properties. In this talk, I will present examples where this approach works and explain why we expect the RG functors to play the role of "categorified quantum torus charts".
