Deformations of holomorphic pairs and 2d-4d wall-crossing

We show how wall-crossing formulas in coupled 2d-4d systems, introduced by Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke, can be interpreted geometrically in terms of the deformation theory of holomorphic pairs, given by a complex manifold together with a holomorphic vector bundle. The main part of the paper studies the relation between scattering diagrams and deformations of holomorphic pairs, building on recent work by Chan, Conan Leung and Ma.
