We use the Gromov-Witten/Pairs descendent correspondence for toric 3-folds and degeneration arguments to establish the GW/P correspondence for several compact Calabi-Yau 3-folds (including all CY complete intersections in products of…
Let X be a Calabi-Yau 3-fold over C. The Donaldson-Thomas invariants of X are integers DT^a(t) which count stable sheaves with Chern character a on X, with respect to a Gieseker stability condition t. They are defined only for Chern…
Motivated by S-duality modularity conjectures in string theory, we study the Donaldson-Thomas type invariants of pure 2-dimensional sheaves inside a nonsingular threefold X in three different situations: (1). X is a K3 fibration over a…
Supersymmetric D-branes supported on the complex two-dimensional base $S$ of the local Calabi-Yau threefold $K_S$ are described by semi-stable coherent sheaves on $S$. Under suitable conditions, the BPS indices counting these objects (known…
Givental's Lagrangian cone $\mathcal{L}_X$ is a Lagrangian submanifold of a symplectic vector space which encodes the genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$. Building on work of Braverman, Coates has obtained the Lagrangian cone as the…
We show a version of the DT/PT correspondence relating local curve counting invariants, encoding the contribution of a fixed smooth curve in a Calabi-Yau threefold. We exploit a local study of the Hilbert-Chow morphism about the cycle of a…
We introduce a geometric completion of the stack of maps from stable marked curves to the quotient stack [point/GL(1)], and use it to construct some gauge-theoretic analogues of the Gromov-Witten invariants. We also indicate the…
We use Donaldson invariants of regular surfaces with p_g >0 to make quantitative statements about modulispaces of stable rank 2 sheaves. We give two examples: a quantitative existence theorem for stable bundles, and a computation of the…
We prove that the cycle-valued logarithmic Gromov--Witten theory of a product of simple normal crossings pairs $X\times Y$ decomposes into a product of pieces coming from $X$ and $Y$, provided that the decomposition is considered over a…
General covariance is a crucial notion in the study of field theories in curved spacetime. A field theory defined with respect to a semi-Riemannian metric is generally covariant if two metrics which are related by a diffeomorphism produce…
A moduli space of stable maps to the fibers of a fiber bundle is constructed. The new moduli space is a family version of the classical moduli space of stable maps to a non-singular complex projective variety. The virtual cycle for this…
Degenerate contributions to higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau 3-folds are computed via Hodge integrals. The vanishing of contributions of covers of elliptic curves conjectured by Gopakumar and Vafa is proven. A formula for…
Let $\sigma$ be a stability condition on the bounded derived category $D^b({\mathop{\rm Coh}\nolimits} W)$ of a Calabi-Yau threefold $W$ and $\mathcal{M}$ a moduli stack parametrizing $\sigma$-semistable objects of fixed topological type.…
We extend the framework of K-stability (Tian, Donaldson) to more general algebro-geometric setting, such as partial desingularisations of (fixed) singularities, (not necessarily flat) families over higher dimensional base and the classical…
The Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture predicts that the Gromov-Witten invariants of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold can be canonically expressed in terms of integer invariants called BPS numbers. Using the methods of symplectic Gromov-Witten theory, we prove…
Inspired by recent formul\ae\ of Dubrovin, Yang, and Zagier, we interpret the tau function enumerating stationary Gromov-Witten invariants of $\mathbb{P}^1$ as an isomonodromic tau function associated with a difference equation. As a…
The moduli space of stable quotients introduced by Marian-Oprea-Pandharipande provides a natural compactification of the space of morphisms from nonsingular curves to a nonsingular projective variety and carries a natural virtual class. We…
This is the second paper in a series on intrinsic Donaldson-Thomas theory, a framework for studying the enumerative geometry of general algebraic stacks. In this paper, we present the construction of Donaldson-Thomas invariants for general…
Motivated by the real version of the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture for 3-folds, the authors introduced in [GI] the notion of local real Gromov-Witten invariants associated to local 3-folds over Real curves. This article is devoted to the proof…
We establish a geometric interpretation of orientifold Donaldson-Thomas invariants of $\sigma$-symmetric quivers with involution. More precisely, we prove that the cohomological orientifold Donaldson-Thomas invariant is isomorphic to the…
