Recently, Segal constructed a derived equivalence for an interesting 5-fold flop that was provided by Abuaf. The aim of this article is to add some results for the derived equivalence for Abuaf's flop. Concretely, we study the equivalence…

This paper describes Gopakumar-Vafa (GV) invariants associated to $cA_n$ singularities. We (1) generalize GV invariants to crepant partial resolutions of $cA_n$ singularities, (2) show that generalized GV invariants also satisfy Toda's…

The Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture predicts that the BPS invariants of a symplectic 6-manifold, defined in terms of the Gromov-Witten invariants, are integers and all but finitely many vanish in every homology class. The integrality part of this…

Type IIA on the conifold is a prototype example for engineering QED with one charged hypermultiplet. The geometry admits a flop of length one. In this paper, we study the next generation of geometric engineering on singular geometries,…

We develop tools for classification of contraction algebras and apply these to solve the problem on classification up to isomorphism of 8 and 9 dimensional algebras corresponding to 3-fold flops. We prove that there is only one up to…

In [5], Donovan and Wemyss introduced the contraction algebra of flopping curves in 3-folds. They conjectured that the contraction algebra determines the formal neighborhood of the underlying singularity of the contraction. In this paper,…

We develop theoretical aspects of refined Donaldson-Thomas theory for threefold flops, and use these to determine all DT invariants for a doubly infinite family of length 2 flopping contractions. Our results show that a refined version of…

In this paper, we generalize a mathematical definition of Gopakumar-Vafa (GV) invariants on Calabi-Yau 3-folds introduced by Maulik and the author, using an analogue of BPS sheaves introduced by Davison-Meinhardt on the coarse moduli spaces…

We prove a conjectural correspondence of Cao-Maulik-Toda which relates Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of fiber classes on a smooth projective Calabi-Yau 4-fold fibered over a curve to the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of a smooth fiber under an…

Smooth threefold flops with irreducible centres are classified by the length invariant, which takes values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. This classification by Katz and Morrison identifies 6 possible partial resolutions of Kleinian singularities that…

As an analogy to Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture on Calabi-Yau 3-folds, Klemm-Pandharipande defined Gopakumar-Vafa type invariants of a Calabi-Yau 4-fold $X$ using Gromov-Witten theory. When $X$ is holomorphic symplectic, Gromov-Witten invariants…

We describe a new example of a flop in 5-dimensions, due to Roland Abuaf, with the nice feature that the contracting loci on either side are not isomorphic. We prove that the two sides are derived equivalent.

This paper contains a preliminary study of the monodromy of certain fourth order differential equations, that were called of Calabi-Yau type in math.NT/0402386. Some of these equations can be interpreted as the Picard-Fuchs equations of a…
