Donaldson-Thomas theory on a Calabi-Yau can be described in terms of a certain six-dimensional cohomological gauge theory. We introduce a certain class of defects in this gauge theory which generalize surface defects in four dimensions.…
We survey geometrical and especially combinatorial aspects of generalized Donaldson-Thomas invariants (also called BPS invariants) for toric Calabi-Yau manifolds, emphasizing the role of plane partitions and their generalizations in the…
This work develops new ideas and tools to establish wall-crossing in Calabi-Yau four categories as originally conjectured by Gross-Joyce-Tanaka. In the process, I set up some necessary new language, including a natural refinement of Joyce's…
Given a brane tiling, that is a bipartite graph on a torus, we can associate with it a quiver potential and a quiver potential algebra. Under certain consistency conditions on a brane tiling, we prove a formula for the Donaldson-Thomas type…
We study the counting problem of BPS D-branes wrapping holomorphic cycles of a general toric Calabi-Yau manifold. We evaluate the Jeffrey-Kirwan residues for the flavoured Witten index for the supersymmetric quiver quantum mechanics on the…
We define and compute higher rank analogs of Pandharipande-Thomas stable pair invariants in primitive classes for K3 surfaces. Higher rank stable pair invariants for Calabi-Yau threefolds have been defined by Sheshmani \cite{shesh1,shesh2}…
This paper is motivated by the question of how motivic Donaldson--Thomas invariants behave in families. We compute the invariants for some simple families of noncommutative Calabi--Yau threefolds, defined by quivers with homogeneous…
Gromov-Witten, Gopakumar-Vafa, and Donaldson-Thomas invariants of Calabi-Yau threefolds are compared. In certain situations, the Donaldson-Thomas invariants are very easy to handle, sometimes easier than the other invariants. This point is…
We give a conjectural but full and explicit description of the (K-theoretic) equivariant vertex for Pandharipande--Thomas stable pairs on toric Calabi--Yau 4-folds, by identifying torus-fixed loci as certain quiver Grassmannians and…
We study rational curves of degree two on a smooth sextic 4-fold and their counting invariant defined using Donaldson-Thomas theory of Calabi-Yau 4-folds. By comparing it with the corresponding Gromov-Witten invariant, we verify a…
We survey recent developments on Donaldson-Thomas theory, Bridgeland stability conditions and wall-crossing formula. We emphasize the importance of the counting theory of Bridgeland semistable objects in the derived category of coherent…
We prove the transformation formula of Donaldson-Thomas (DT) invariants counting two dimensional torsion sheaves on Calabi-Yau 3-folds under flops. The error term is described by the Dedekind eta function and the Jacobi theta function, and…
We introduce geometric structures on the space of stability conditions of a three-dimensional Calabi-Yau category which encode the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the category. We explain in detail a close analogy between these structures,…
This review gives an introduction to cohomological Donaldson-Thomas theory: the study of a cohomology theory on moduli spaces of sheaves on Calabi-Yau threefolds, and of complexes in 3-Calabi-Yau categories, categorifying their numerical DT…
We consider Donaldson-Witten theory on four-manifolds of the form $X=Y \times {\bf S}^1$ where $Y$ is a compact three-manifold. We show that there are interesting relations between the four-dimensional Donaldson invariants of $X$ and…
We prove wall-crossing formula for categorical Donaldson-Thomas invariants on the resolved conifold, which categorifies Nagao-Nakajima wall-crossing formula for numerical DT invariants on it. The categorified Hall products are used to…
We study Pandharipande-Thomas's stable pair theory on $K3$ fibrations over curves with possibly nodal fibers. We describe stable pair invariants of the fiberwise irreducible curve classes in terms of Kawai-Yoshioka's formula for the Euler…
We compute the motivic Donaldson-Thomas theory of small crepant resolutions of toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds.
In their papers published in 1993 and 1994, by expressing certain physical quantity in two distinct ways, Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa discovered a remarkable equivalence between Ray-Singer analytic torsion and elliptic instanton numbers…
Motivated by the counting of BPS states in string theory with orientifolds, we study moduli spaces of self-dual representations of a quiver with contravariant involution. We develop Hall module techniques to compute the number of points…
