Curve-counting invariants for crepant resolutions
Abstract
We construct curve counting invariants for a Calabi-Yau threefold equipped with a dominant birational morphism . Our invariants generalize the stable pair invariants of Pandharipande and Thomas which occur for the case when is the identity. Our main result is a PT/DT-type formula relating the partition function of our invariants to the Donaldson-Thomas partition function in the case when is a crepant resolution of , the coarse space of a Calabi-Yau orbifold satisfying the hard Lefschetz condition. In this case, our partition function is equal to the Pandharipande-Thomas partition function of the orbifold . Our methods include defining a new notion of stability for sheaves which depends on the morphism . Our notion generalizes slope stability which is recovered in the case where is the identity on . Our proof is a generalization of Bridgeland's proof of the PT/DT correspondence via the Hall algebra and Joyce's integration map.
