Title: Motivic decomposition of moduli space from brane dynamics

Abstract: Supersymmetric gauge theories encode deep structures in algebraic geometry, and geometric engineering gives a powerful way to understand the underlying structures by string/M theory. In this talk we will see how the dynamics of M5 branes tell us about the motivic and semiorthogonal decompositions of moduli of bundles on curves.
