The Coulomb Branch Formula for Quiver Moduli Spaces
Confluentes Mathematici, Volume 9 (2017) no. 2, pp. 49-69.

In recent series of works, by translating properties of multi-centered supersymmetric black holes into the language of quiver representations, we proposed a formula that expresses the Hodge numbers of the moduli space of semi-stable representations of quivers with generic superpotential in terms of a set of invariants associated to ‘single-centered’ or ‘pure-Higgs’ states. The distinguishing feature of these invariants is that they are independent of the choice of stability condition. Furthermore they are uniquely determined by the χ y -genus of the moduli space. Here, we provide a self-contained summary of the Coulomb branch formula, spelling out mathematical details but leaving out proofs and physical motivations.
