Perverse schobers and the Algebra of the Infrared

We relate the Algebra of the Infrared of Gaiotto-Moore-Witten with the theory of perverse schobers which are (conjectural, in general) categorical analogs of perverse sheaves. A perverse schober on a complex plane C can be seen as an algebraic structure that can encode various categories of D-branes of a 2-dimensional supersymmetric field theory, as well as the interaction (tunnelling) between such categories. We show that many constructions of the Algebra of the Infrared can be developed once we have a schober on C. These constructions can be seen as giving various features of the analog, for schobers, of the geometric Fourier transform well known for D-modules and perverse sheaves.
