Modelling $A$-branes with foliations

Abstract: A certain class of $A$-branes in mirrors of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds can be described through the framework of foliations. This allows to develop an explicit description of their moduli spaces based on a cell decomposition, with strata of various dimensions glued together in a way that is dictated by partial degenerations of the underlying special Lagrangian. Examples of $A$-branes associated with `wild' BPS states are considered in detail. The torus fixed points in their moduli spaces provide a decomposition of $m$-herds spectral networks into a number $|\Omega|$ of basic connected objects, where $\Omega$ is the the corresponding rank-zero Donaldson-Thomas (DT) invariant. A relation between the surgery parameters of the special Lagrangian and the baryonic semi-invariants of the representation theory of $m$-Kronecker quivers is also discussed, providing a local map between moduli spaces of branes related by homological mirror symmetry.
