Superconformal index, BPS monodromy and chiral algebras

Abstract We show that specializations of the 4d N=2 $$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ superconformal index labeled by an integer N is given by Tr ℳ N where ℳ is the Kontsevich-Soibelman monodromy operator for BPS states on the Coulomb branch. We provide evidence that the states enumerated by these limits of the i...
