Framed BPS States and Quantum Holonomies
I will describe a method for determining the spins of framed BPS states supported on line defects in 4d N=2 theories of class S. Via the 2d-4d correspondence, this amounts to constructing quantum holonomies on a punctured Riemann surface. The main ingredients are the nonabelianization map provided by spectral networks, and the skein algebra in 3 dimensions.References:My paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.05258
