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…
We give an alternate proof of the integrality conjecture of genus zero Gopakumar-Vafa type invariants on semi-positive varieties using algebraic geometry. The main technique is to relate Gopakumar-Vafa type invariants to quantum…
We investigate Gromov-Witten invariants associated to exceptional classes for primitive birational contractions on a Calabi-Yau threefold X. It was observed in a previous paper that these invariants are locally defined, in that they can be…
We enumerate topologically-inequivalent compact Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces. By computing arithmetic and algebraic invariants and the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of curves, we prove that the number of distinct simply connected…
Given a quasi-projective 3-fold X with only Gorenstein terminal singularities, we prove that the flop functors beginning at X satisfy higher degree braid relations, with the combinatorics controlled by a real hyperplane arrangement H. This…
As an analogy to Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture on CY 3-folds, Klemm-Pandharipande defined GV type invariants on CY 4-folds using GW theory and conjectured their integrality. In this paper, we define stable pair type invariants on CY 4-folds and…
The goal of the present paper is to show the transformation formula of Donaldson-Thomas invariants on smooth projective Calabi-Yau 3-folds under birational transformations via categorical method. We also generalize the non-commutative…
The present paper gives an explicit classification of the isomorphism classes of non-hyperelliptic genus 4 curves over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. A non-hyperelliptic genus 4 curve lies on a quadric in $\mathbb{P^3}$…
