Reduced Donaldson-Thomas invariants and the ring of dual numbers

Algebraic Geometry 2018-08-15 v1

Abstract

Let AA be an abelian variety. We introduce AA-equivariant Grothendieck rings and AA-equivariant motivic Hall algebras, and endow them with natural integration maps to the ring of dual numbers. The construction allows a systematic treatment of reduced Donaldson-Thomas invariants by Hall algebra techniques. We calculate reduced Donaldson-Thomas invariants for K3×E\mathrm{K3} \times E and abelian threefolds for several imprimitive curve classes. This verifies (in special cases) multiple cover formulas conjectured by Oberdieck-Pandharipande and Bryan-Oberdieck-Pandharipande-Yin.
