Description
I will present some new results about supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SQM) related to the study of half-BPS states of 4d N=2 SQFTs, including 5d SCFT on a circle, as well as about SQM related to vortex lines in 3d N=2 gauge theories. On the one hand, I will revisit the so-called Galois cover of 1d N=4 SQM quivers, which allow us to relate the BPS spectra of very different theories in non-trivial ways. On the other hand, I will present new observations about Seiberg-like dualities in 1d N=2 SQM with unitary gauge groups. Many of these observations have (or should have) an interpretation in terms of branes at singularities.
