Operadic approach to wall-crossing

Wall-crossing phenomena are ubiquitous in many problems of algebraic geometry and theoretical physics. Various ways to encode the relevant information and the need to track the changes under the variation of parameters lead to rather complicated transformation rules and non-trivial combinatorial problems. In this paper we propose a framework, reminiscent of collections and plethysms in the theory of operads, that conceptualizes those transformation rules. As an application we obtain new streamlined proofs of some existing wall-crossing formulas as well as some new formulas related to attractor invariants.(c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Automated summary

Wall-crossing phenomena are common in algebraic geometry and theoretical physics, and encoding relevant information and tracking parameter changes require complicated transformation rules and combinatorial problems. This paper proposes a framework that conceptualizes these transformation rules and applies it to the proofs of wall-crossing formulas and attractor invariants.
