Connecting localization and wall-crossing via D-branes

We demonstrate explicitly that the vacuum expectation values (vevs) of BPS line operators in 4d N=2 super Yang–Mills theory compactified on a circle, computed by localization techniques, can be expanded in terms of Darboux coordinates as proposed by Gaiotto, Moore, and Neitzke [1]. However, we need...
