Description

The mathematical object that describes 1/2-BPS line defects in 4d N=2 Supersymmetric QFT is naturally a monoidal category with some extra structure. I'll try to explain why and how leveraging the algebra structure on the BPS spectrum one can try to reconstruct this category.

Based on the work 2406.07134 with Davide Gaiotto and Wei Li.
