Abstract
This paper describes Gopakumar-Vafa (GV) invariants associated to singularities. We (1) generalize GV invariants to crepant partial resolutions of singularities, (2) show that generalized GV invariants also satisfy Toda's formula and are determined by their associated contraction algebra, (3) give filtration structures on the parameter space of contraction algebras associated to crepant resolutions with respect to generalized GV invariants, and (4) numerically constrain the possible tuples of GV invariants that can arise. We further give all the tuples that arise from GV invariants of crepant resolutions.
