Summary Concluding Remarks Introduction Review of BPS Wall-Crossing-I BPS -II Semi-Primitive Wall-Crossing BPS Rays For each ?2 ? associate a ray in the z plane: Symplectic transformations KS WCF KS Transformations Seiberg-Witten Theory Low Energy Theory on R4 Example of G=SU(2) Low Energy theory on Semiflat Metric The Main Idea gsf is quantum-corrected by BPS states (instanton = worldline of BPS particle on S1) So, quantum corrections depend on the BPS spectrum The spectrum jumps, but the true metric g must be smooth across MS walls. This implies a WCF! Twistor Space A HK metric g is equivalent to a fiberwise holomorphic symplectic form Holomorphic Fourier Modes Semiflat holomorphic Fourier modes One Particle Corrections Work near a point u* where one HM, H becomes massless Dominant QC’s from instantons of these BPS particles Choose a duality frame where H has electric charge q0 Do an effective field theory computation Periodic Taub-NUT Twistor coordinates for PTN Explicit PTN twistor coordinates Key features of the coordinates Multi-Particle Contributions To take into account the instanton corrections from ALL the BPS particles we cannot use an effective field theory computation. Mutually nonlocal fields in Leff are illegal! We propose to circumvent this problem by reformulating the instanton corrections as a Riemann-Hilbert problem in the z plane. Riemann-Hilbert problem Solution to the RH problem KS WCF = Continuity of the metric Differential Equations Summary We constructed the HK metric for circle compactification of SW theories. Quantum corrections to the dim. red. metric gsf encode the BPS spec
