Conclusion • Constructed 2d N=(2,2) GLSMs on hemispheres with general B-type boundary conditions and boundary interactions. • Determined properties of hemisphere partition functions. • D-brane central charge Stong tests • Hilbert space interpretation of our results! • Seiberg-like Dualities
Comments on domain walls • Domain walls are boundaries in folded theories. • Line operators on surface operators and AGT correspondence (open Verlinde operators) • Affine Hecke algebra from monodromy domain wall algebra (Integrability suggests the presence of quantum group symmetry.) • Relations between domain walls and geometric representation theory
