Description

In a recent work of Gaiotto,Moore and Witten the ``algebra of the infrared" for certain massive 2d theories with (2,2) supersymmetry was introduced. For Landau-Ginzburg models it gives a Morse-theoretical description of the corresponding $A_{\infty}$-category of A-branes. It turns out that the combinatorial part of their work admits a higher-dimensional generalization. I am going to discuss that generalization, its relation to Gaiotto-Moore-Witten's work and speculate about possible applications.
