Exponential BPS graphs and D-brane counting on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds: Part II

Abstract

We study BPS states of 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory on $S^1\times {\mathbb{R}}^4$. Geometric engineering relates these to enumerative invariants for the local Hirzebruch surface ${\mathbb{F}}_0$. We illustrate computations of Vafa-Witten invariants via exponential networks, verifying fiber-base symmetry of the spectrum at certain points in moduli space, and matching with mirror descriptions based on quivers and exceptional collections. Albeit infinite, parts of the spectrum organize in families described by simple algebraic equations. Varying the radius of the M-theory circle interpolates smoothly with the spectrum of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Seiberg-Witten theory, recovering spectral networks in the limit.
