Description
Spectral networks were introduced in theoretical physics in order to count BPS states. They are graphs with additional algebraic data drawn on a surface and minimizing a weighted total length. Heuristically, they are degenerations of higher dimensional special Lagrangian submanifolds. The main mathematical conjecture about them is that they correspond to stable objects of a stability condition on a Fukaya-type category. I will illustrate how this works in some neat examples related to Dynkin quivers and stacky projective lines. This is an ongoing joint project with L. Katzarkov, M. Kontsevich, P. Pandit, and C. Simpson.
