Prof. Kontsevich on BPS counting and wall-crossing

Maxim Kontsevich (IHES) was on "BPS counting as hyperkaehler metric".

He started from axioms, its background physics and mathematics such as Donaldson-Thomas, quiver cluster algebras, collapsing hyperkaehler geometry, geometric Langlands and classical integrable systems (Hitchin system and Seiberg-Witten theory).

Today was the end of the joint meeting of Japan and France.
