BPS States, Weight Spaces and Vanishing Cycles

Abstract

We review some simple group theoretical properties of BPS states, in relation with the singular homology of level surfaces. Primary focus is on classical and quantum N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, though the considerations can be applied to string theory as well.
