Spherical DAHA as an algebra of framed BPS states

Line operators of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories of class $\mathcal{S}$ of type $A_{N-1}$ in a half Omega background provide a physical model for $SL_N$ skein algebras. In this paper we extend this correspondence to $GL_N$ skein algebras and prove that the $GL_2$ skein algebra of the punctured torus is isomorphic to the $...
