Abstract

We determine the Gromov-Witten invariants of the local Enriques surfaces for all genera and curve classes and prove the Klemm-Mari\~{n}o formula. In particular, we show that the generating series of genus 11 invariants of the Enriques surface is the Fourier expansion of a certain power of Borcherds automorphic form on the moduli space of Enriques surfaces. We also determine all Vafa-Witten invariants of the Enriques surface. The proof uses the correspondence between Gromov-Witten and Pandharipande-Thomas theory. On the Gromov-Witten side we prove the relative Gromov-Witten potentials of an elliptic Enriques surfaces are quasi-Jacobi forms and satisfy a holomorphic anomaly equation. On the sheaf side, we relate the Pandharipande-Thomas invariants of the Enriques-Calabi-Yau threefold in fiber classes to the 22-dimensional Donaldson-Thomas invariants by a version of Toda's formula for local K3 surfaces. Altogether, we obtain sufficient modular constraints to determine all invariants from basic geometric computations.
