In this note we consider the set of line operators in theories of class S. We show that this set carries the action of a natural discrete dynamical system associated with the BPS spectrum. We discuss several applications of this perspective; the relation with global properties of the theory; the set of constraints imposed on the spectrum generator, in particular for the case of SU(2) N = 2∗ ; and the relation between line defects and certain spherical Double Affine Hecke Algebras.

Abstract

In this note we consider the set of line operators in theories of class S. We show that this set carries the action of a natural discrete dynamical system associated with the BPS spectrum. We discuss several applications of this perspective; the relation with global properties of the theory; the set of constraints imposed on the spectrum generator, in particular for the case of SU(2) N = 2∗ ; and the relation between line defects and certain spherical Double Affine Hecke Algebras.
