contents In previous works, we introduced and studied certain categories called quasi-BPS categories associated to symmetric quivers with potential, preprojective algebras, and local surfaces. They have properties reminiscent of BPS invariants/ cohomologies in enumerative geometry, for example they play important roles in categorical wall-crossing formulas. In this paper, we make the connections between quasi-BPS categories and BPS cohomologies more precise via the cycle map for topological K-theory. We show the existence of filtrations on topological K-theory of quasi-BPS categories whose associated graded are isomorphic to the monodromy invariant BPS cohomologies. Along the way, we also compute the topological K-theory of categories of matrix factorizations in terms of the monodromy invariant vanishing cycles (a version of this comparison was already known by work of Blanc-Robalo-Toën-Vezzosi), prove a Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem for matrix factorizations, and prove the compatibility between the Koszul equivalence in K-theory and dimensional reduction in cohomology. In a separate paper, we use the results from this paper to show that the quasi-BPS categories of K3 surfaces recover the BPS invariants of the corresponding local surface, which are Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on K3 surfaces.

In previous works, we introduced and studied certain categories called quasi-BPS categories associated to symmetric quivers with potential, preprojective algebras, and local surfaces. They have properties reminiscent of BPS invariants/ cohomologies in enumerative geometry, for example they play important roles in categorical wall-crossing formulas. In this paper, we make the connections between quasi-BPS categories and BPS cohomologies more precise via the cycle map for topological K-theory. We show the existence of filtrations on topological K-theory of quasi-BPS categories whose associated graded are isomorphic to the monodromy invariant BPS cohomologies. Along the way, we also compute the topological K-theory of categories of matrix factorizations in terms of the monodromy invariant vanishing cycles (a version of this comparison was already known by work of Blanc-Robalo-Toën-Vezzosi), prove a Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem for matrix factorizations, and prove the compatibility between the Koszul equivalence in K-theory and dimensional reduction in cohomology. In a separate paper, we use the results from this paper to show that the quasi-BPS categories of K3 surfaces recover the BPS invariants of the corresponding local surface, which are Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on K3 surfaces.
