Abstract

Levine has constructed motivic analogues of virtual fundamental classes, living in cohomology of Witt sheaves. We use this to define motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants I~n\tilde{I}_n for P3\mathbb{P}^3 over R\mathbb{R}. We show that for nn odd, I~n=0\tilde{I}_n = 0 and we compute I~2=10,I~4=25\tilde{I}_2 = 10, \tilde{I}_4 = 25 and I~6=50\tilde{I}_6 = -50. We then make a conjecture about the general case, which could be a motivic analogue of a classical theorem of Maulik-Nekrasov-Okounkov-Pandharipande. The results presented here also form a chapter in the authors thesis, which was submitted on May 30'th, 2023.
