In this appendix we show the computation of the parameters of the hypergeometric functions and their relation with the rotation parameters.
\subsection{Consistency Conditions of the Monodromy Matrices}
In the main text we set
\begin{equation}
D~
\rM_{\vb{\infty}}~
D^{-1}
=
e^{-2\pi i \delta_{\vb{\infty}}}\,
\cL(\vb{n}_{\vb{\infty}}),
\end{equation}
where $\cL(\vb{n}_{\vb{\infty}}) \in \SU{2}$.
The previous equation implies
\begin{equation}
\left( D\, \rM_{\vb{\infty}}\, D^{-1} \right)^\dagger
=
\left( D\, \rM_{\vb{\infty}}\, D^{-1} \right)^{-1},
\end{equation}
which can be rewritten as
\begin{equation}
\widetilde{\rM}_{\vb{\infty}}^{-1}~
\cC^{\dagger}\, D^{\dagger}\, D\, \cC
=
\cC^{\dagger}\, D^{\dagger}\, D\, \cC~
\widetilde{\rM}_{\vb{\infty}}^{-1}.
\end{equation}
As $\widetilde{\rM}_{\vb{\infty}}$ is a generic diagonal matrix, the previous equation implies that the off-diagonal elements of $\cC^{\dagger}\, D^{\dagger}\, D\, \cC$ must vanish.
We therefore have
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\abs{K}^{-2}
& =
-\frac{\cC_{21}\, \cC^*_{22}}{\cC_{11}\, \cC^*_{12}}
\\
& =
-\frac{1}{\pi^4}\,
\abs{\gfun{a} \gfun{b} \gfun{c-a} \gfun{c-b}}^2 \times
\\
& \times
\sin(\pi a)\, \sin^*(\pi (c-a))\, (\sin(\pi b)\, \sin^*(\pi (c-b)))^*.
\end{split}
\end{equation}
When $a,\, b,\, c \in \R$ this ultimately means that
\begin{equation}
\sin(\pi a)\, \sin(\pi (c-a))\, \sin(\pi b)\, \sin(\pi (c-b)) < 0.
\label{eq:constraint_from_K^2}
\end{equation}
Since the previous equation is invariant under integer shift of any of its parameters, we can consider just the fractional parts $0 \le \{a\},\, \{b\},\, \{c\} < 1$.
In order to have \U{2} monodromies finally requires
\begin{equation}
0 \le \{b\} < \{c\} < \{a\} < 1
\qq{or}
0 \le \{a\} < \{c\} < \{b\} <1.
\label{eq:K_consistency_condition}
\end{equation}
Should we request \U{1,1} monodromies as in moving rotated branes then we get:
\begin{equation}
\abs{K}^{-2}
=
\frac{\cC_{21}\, \cC^*_{22}}{\cC_{11}\, \cC^*_{12}}.
\end{equation}
This would then imply
\begin{equation}
0 \le \{c\} < \{a\},\, \{b\} < 1
\qq{or}
0 \le \{a\},\, \{b\} < \{c\} < 1.
\end{equation}
\subsection{Fixing the Parameters}
We can finally show in details the computation of the parameters of the basis of hypergeometric functions used in the main text.
The relation between these and the \SU{2} matrices can be computed requiring that the monodromies induced by the choice of the parameters equal the monodromies produced by the rotations of the D-branes.
The monodromy in $\omega_{\bt-1} = 0$ is simpler to compute given that we choose $\cL(\vb{n}_{\vb{0}})$ and $\cR(\widetilde{\vb{m}}_{\vb{0}})$ to be diagonal.
We impose:
\begin{eqnarray}
\mqty( \dmat{1, e^{-2\pi i c^{(L)}}} )
& = &
e^{-2\pi i \delta_{\vb{0}}^{(L)}}\,
\mqty( \dmat{e^{2\pi i n_{\vb{0}}}, e^{-2\pi i n_{\vb{0}}}} ),
\\
\mqty( \dmat{1, e^{-2\pi i c^{(R)}}} )
& = &
e^{-2\pi i \delta_{\vb{0}}^{(R)}}\,
\mqty( \dmat{e^{-2\pi i m_{\vb{0}}}, e^{2\pi i m_{\vb{0}}}} ),
\end{eqnarray}
where $n^3_{\vb{0}} = \norm{\vb{n}_{\vb{0}}} = n_{\vb{0}}$ and $m^3_{\vb{0}} = \norm{\vb{m}_{\vb{0}}} = m_{\vb{0}}$ with $0 \le n_{\vb{0}},\, m_{\vb{0}} < 1$ due to the conventions \eqref{eq:maximal_torus_left} and \eqref{eq:maximal_torus_right}.
We thus have:
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\delta_{\vb{0}}^{(L)}
& =
n_{\vb{0}} + k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{0}}},
\qquad
k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{0}}} \in \Z,
\\
c^{(L)}
& =
2 n_{\vb{0}} + k_c,
\qquad
k_c \in \Z.
\end{split}
\label{eq:cL}
\end{equation}
Since the determinant of the right hand side is $e^{-4 \pi i \delta_{\vb{0}}^{(L)}}$, the range of definition of $\delta_{\vb{0}}^{(L)}$ is $\alpha \le \delta_{\vb{0}}^{(L)} \le \alpha + \frac{1}{2}$.
Given that $0 \le n_{\vb{0}} < \frac{1}{2}$ we simply take $\alpha = 0$ and set $\delta_{\vb{0}}^{(L)} = n_{\vb{0}}$.
Analogous results hold in the right sector.
Furthermore from the third equation in \eqref{eq:parameters_equality_zero} and from the first equation in \eqref{eq:cL} we can restrict:
\begin{equation}
n_{\vb{0}} + m_{\vb{0}} - A \in \Z.
\end{equation}
We then need to find $3$ equations to determine $a^{(L)}$, $b^{(L)}$ and $\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}$.
After that we then fix the remaining factors in $B$ and $\abs{K^{(L)}}$.
The equations follow from~\eqref{eq:parameters_equality_infty}.
The first two equations for $a^{(L)}$, $b^{(L)}$ and $\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}$ follow by considering the trace of~\eqref{eq:parameters_equality_infty}:
\begin{equation}
e^{\pi i ( a^{(L)} + b^{(L)} )} \cos(\pi( a^{(L)} - b^{(L)} ) )
=
e^{-2\pi i \delta^{(L)}_{\infty}} \cos(2\pi n_{\vb{\infty}}),
\end{equation}
which is satisfied by:
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}
& =
-
\frac{1}{2}(a^{(L)} + b^{(L)})
+
\frac{1}{2} k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}},
\qquad
k_{\delta_{\vb{\infty}}} \in \Z,
\\
a^{(L)} - b^{(L)}
& =
2\, (-1)^{p^{(L)}}\, n_{\vb{\infty}}
+
(-1)^{q^{(L)}}\, k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}}
+
2\, k'_{a b},
\qquad
k'_{ab} \in \Z,
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where $p^{(L)},\, q^{(L)} \in \left\lbrace 0, 1 \right\rbrace$.
Notice that changing the value of $p^{(L)}$ corresponds to swapping $a$ and $b$: since the hypergeometric function is symmetric in those parameters we can fix $p^{(L)}=0$.
Redefining $k'$ we can always set $q^{(L)}=0$.
We therefore have:
\begin{equation}
a^{(L)} - b^{(L)}
=
2\, n_{\vb{\infty}}
+
k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}}
+
2 k_{ab},
\qquad
k_{a b}\in \Z.
\label{eq:aL-bL}
\end{equation}
The allowed values for $k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}}$ follow a construction similar to the monodromy around $\omega_{\bt-1} = 0$.
The main difference is given by the fact that $\frac{1}{2}(a^{(L)} + b^{(L)})$ may a priori take values in an interval of width $1$.
As in the previous case we have $\alpha \le \delta_{\vb{\infty}}^{(L)} \le \alpha + \frac{1}{2}$ with $\alpha$ technically arbitrary.
We cannot thus choose a vanishing $k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}}$ but we have to consider $k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\infty}} = 0,\, 1$.
We find a third relation by considering the entry
\begin{equation}
\Im\left(
e^{+2\pi i \delta_{\vb{\infty}}^{(L)}}\,
D^{(L)}\,
\rM_{\vb{\infty}}^{(L)}\,
\left( D^{(L)} \right)^{-1}
\right)_{11}
=
\Im\left(
\cL(n_{\vb{\infty}})
\right)_{11}.
\end{equation}
Using
\begin{equation}
\det \cC
=
\frac{\sin(\pi c^{(L)})}{\sin(\pi(a^{(L)}-b^{(L)}))},
\end{equation}
and the second equation in~\eqref{eq:cL} and~\eqref{eq:aL-bL} leads to:
\begin{equation}
\cos(\pi( a^{(L)} + b^{(L)} - c^{(L)} ))
=
(-1)^{k_c+k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}} }\, \cos(2\pi \cA^{(L)}),
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\cos(2\pi \cA^{(L)})
=
\cos(2\pi n_{\vb{0}})\,
\cos(2\pi n_{\vb{\infty}})
-
\sin(2\pi n_{\vb{0}})\,
\sin(2\pi n_{\vb{\infty}})\,
\frac{n_{\vb{\infty}}^3}{n_{\vb{\infty}}}.
\label{eq:cos_n1}
\end{equation}
This expression is connected with rotation parameter in the third interaction point $\omega_{\bt+1} = 1$.
In fact $\cos(2\pi \cA^{(L)}) = \cos(2\pi {n}_{\vb{1}})$.
We then write
\begin{equation}
a^{(L)} + b^{(L)} - c^{(L)}
=
2\, (-1)^{f^{(L)}}\, n_{\vb{1}}
+
k_c
+
k_{\delta^{(L)}_{\vb{\infty}}}
+
2\, k_{abc},
\qquad
k_{abc}\in \Z,
\end{equation}
with $f^{(L)} \in \left\lbrace 0, 1 \right\rbrace$.
The request
\begin{equation}
A
+
B
-
n_{\vb{0}}
-
m_{\vb{0}}
-
(-1)^{f^{(L)}}\, n_{\vb{1}}
-
(-1)^{f^{(R)}}\, m_{\vb{1}}
\in \Z
\end{equation}
finally fixes the $B$ parameter in the third equation of~\eqref{eq:parameters_equality_infty}.
So far we can summarise the results in
\begin{eqnarray}
a
=
n_{\vb{0}} + (-1)^{f^{(L)}} n_{\vb{1}} + n_{\vb{\infty}} + m_a,
& \qquad &
m_a \in \Z,
\\
b
=
n_{\vb{0}} + (-1)^{f^{(L)}} n_{\vb{1}} - n_{\vb{\infty}} + m_b,
& \qquad &
m_b \in \Z,
\\
c
=
2\, n_{\vb{0}} + m_c,
& \qquad &
m_c \in \Z,
\\
\delta_{\vb{0}}^{(L)}
=
n_{\vb{0}},
\\
\delta_{\vb{\infty}}^{(L)}
=
- n_{\vb{0}} - (-1)^{f^{(L)}} n_{\vb{1}} + m_c + 2\, m_\delta,
& \qquad &
m_{\delta} \in \Z,
\\
A
=
n_{\vb{0}} + m_{\vb{0}} + m_A,
& \qquad &
m_A \in \Z,
\\
B
=
(-1)^{f^{(L)}}\, n_{\vb{1}} + (-1)^{f^{(R)}}\, m_{\vb{1}} + m_B,
& \qquad &
m_B \in \Z.
\end{eqnarray}
$K^{(L)}$ is finally determined from
\begin{equation}
\left( D^{(L)}\, \rM_{\vb{\infty}}\, \left( D^{(L)} \right)^{-1} \right)_{21}
=
e^{-2\pi i \delta_{\vb{\infty}}^{(L)}}\,
\left( \cL(n_{\vb{\infty}}) \right)_{21},
\label{eq:fixing_K_21}
\end{equation}
and get:
\begin{equation}
K^{(L)}
=
-\frac{(-1)^{m_a + m_b + m_c}}{2 \pi^2}\,
\cG( a^{(L)},\, b^{(L)},\, c^{(L)} )\,
\sin(2 \pi n_{\vb{0}})
\sin(2 \pi n_{\vb{\infty}})
\frac{n^1_{\vb{\infty}} + i\, n^2_{\vb{\infty}}}{n_{\vb{\infty}}},
\label{eq:app_B_K21}
\end{equation}
where $\cG( a,\, b,\, c ) = \gfun{1-a}\, \gfun{1-b}\, \gfun{a+1-c}\, \gfun{b+1-c}$.
\subsection{Checking the Consistency of the Solution}
We check the consistency condition \eqref{eq:K_consistency_condition} using~\eqref{eq:product_in_SU2}.
The result is
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
\left( K^{(L)} \right)^{-1}
& =
\frac{(-1)^{m_a + m_b + m_c}}{2 \pi^2}\,
\cG(1 - a^{(L)},\, 1 - b^{(L)},\, 2 - c^{(L)})\,
\\
& \times
\sin(2 \pi n_{\vb{0}})\,
\sin(2 \pi n_{\vb{\infty}})\,
\frac{n^1_{\vb{\infty}} -i n^2_{\vb{\infty}}}{n_{\vb{\infty}}},
\end{split}
\label{eq:app_B_K12}
\end{equation}
where the function $\cG( a,\, b,\, c )$ was defined at the end of the previous section.
Compatibility with~\eqref{eq:app_B_K21} requires
\begin{equation}
\frac{(n^1_{\vb{\infty}})^2 + (n^2_{\vb{\infty}})^2}{n^2_{\vb{\infty}}}
=
-4 \frac{\sin(\pi a) \sin(\pi(c-a))\sin(\pi b) \sin(\pi(c-b))}
{\sin^2(\pi c) \sin^2(\pi(a-b))}.
\label{eq:n12+n22}
\end{equation}
We can then rewrite~\eqref{eq:cos_n1} as
\begin{equation}
\frac{(n^3_{\vb{\infty}})^2}{n^2_{\vb{\infty}}}
=
\frac{(\cos(\pi (a-b)) \cos(\pi c)- \cos(\pi(a+b-c)))^2}
{\sin^2(\pi c) \sin^2(\pi(a-b))}.
\end{equation}
It is then possible to verify that the sum of the left and right hand sides of~\eqref{eq:n12+n22} and the last equation are equal to $1$.
The same consistency check can also be performed by computing $K^{(L)}$ from
\begin{equation}
\left( D^{(L)}\, \rM_{\vb{\infty}}\, \left( D^{(L)} \right)^{-1} \right)_{12}
=
e^{-2\pi i \delta_{\vb{\infty}}^{(L)}}\,
\left( \cL(n_{\vb{\infty}}) \right)_{12},
\end{equation}
instead of \eqref{eq:fixing_K_21}.
