Generating functions for $\mathcal{N}=2$ BPS structures
Abstract
We propose generating functions which encode the degeneracies and wall-crossing phenomena of BPS structures. The generating functions have a representation-theoretic origin and are the analogs of the 1/4-BPS dyon counting formula in theories involving the Weyl denominator formula of a Borcherds-Kac-Moody Lie algebra. A general form of the generating function is suggested based on the Lie algebra associated to the adjacency matrix of the BPS quiver whenever the BPS spectrum of the theory admits such a description. This proposal is tested for the BPS spectrum of Seiberg-Witten SU(2) theory as well as for the -- BPS structure of the resolved conifold which are both captured by an affine Lie algebra and are obtained from limits of the generating function. The general proposal also reproduces the correct BPS spectra and wall-crossing structures for the Argyres-Douglas theory. We further discuss connections to scattering diagrams studied in the context of stability structures.
