Description
Starting from a 6d point of view, we will develop the basic dictionary associating 4d N=2 gauge theories to punctured Riemann surfaces, and explain some extensions thereof. As an application, we will explore a rich set of operators (loops, surfaces, walls) that can be added to the story, and how their use led to a conjecture for some braiding kernels in Toda CFT.
