First, the adjoint Lax pair and auxiliary eigenfunctions are introduced for the direct scattering, and the analyticity, symmetries of eigenfunctions and scattering matrix are studied in detail. Then, the distribution of discrete eigenvalues is examined, and the asymptotic behaviors of the eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients are analyzed rigorously. Compared with the Manakov system, the reverse-space nonlocality introduces an additional symmetry, leading to stricter constraints on eigenfunctions, scattering coefficients and norming constants.

In an important class of examples, the fermionic form of the formula has a mathematical categorification involving PBW bases for a Cohomological Hall Algebra. The bosonic form lacks an analogous categorification. We construct an equivalence of chain complexes, which categorifies the simplest example of the bosonic wall-crossing formula: the bosonic pentagon identity for the quantum dilogarithm. The chain complexes can be promoted to differential-graded algebras which we relate to the PBW bases of the relevant CoHA by a certain quadratic duality.
