In K\"ahler geometry, the Donaldson-Fujiki moment map picture interprets the scalar curvature of a K\"ahler metric as a moment map on the space of compatible almost complex structures on a fixed symplectic manifold. In this paper, we…

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…

We study certain DT invariants arising from stable coherent sheaves in a nonsingular projective threefold supported on the members of a linear system of a fixed line bundle. When the canonical bundle of the threefold satisfies certain…

We introduce the notion of equivariant basic cohomology for singular Riemannian foliations with transverse infinitesimal actions, and prove some elementary properties such as its invariance under homotopies. For the particular case of…

The generalized Donaldson-Thomas invariants counting one dimensional semistable sheaves on Calabi-Yau 3-folds are conjectured to satisfy a certain multiple cover formula. This conjecture is equivalent to Pandharipande-Thomas's strong…

In this paper we prove a toric localization formula in the cohomological Donaldson-Thomas theory. Consider a (-1)-shifted symplectic algebraic space with a $\mathbb{G}_m$-action leaving the (-1)-shifted symplectic form invariant (typical…

Let X be a projective scheme carrying a circle action S with isolated fixed points. We associate a simplicial complex Delta(X,S) of "closure chains" using a refinement of its Morse/Bialynicki-Birula decomposition. If this decomposition is a…

Equivariant localization expresses global invariants in terms of local invariants, and many of them appearing in equivariant index theory, (holomorphic) Morse theory, geometric quantization and supersymmetric localization can be…

A smooth compactification of Donaldson moduli spaces is given. As an application, we use this new space to study the wall-crossing formula and prove the Kotschick-Morgan conjecture.

We apply equivariant localisation to the theory of $Z$-stability and $Z$-critical metrics on a K\"ahler manifold $(X,\alpha)$, where $\alpha$ is a K\"ahler class. We show that the invariants used to determine $Z$-stability of the manifold,…

In this paper we study the holomorphic Euler characteristics of determinant line bundles on moduli spaces of rank 2 semistable sheaves on an algebraic surface X, which can be viewed as $K$-theoretic versions of the Donaldson invariants. In…

We generalize Witten's conjectured formula relating Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants to manifolds of non-simple type, via equivariant localization techniques. This approach does not use the theory of non-abelian monopoles, but works…

Let ${\rm k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and $G$ a connect, reductive group over it. Let $X$ be a projective $G$-variety of complexity 1. We classify $G$-equivariant normal test configurations of $X$ with integral…

Using quantization techniques, we show that the $\delta$-invariant of Fujita-Odaka coincides with the optimal exponent in certain Moser-Trudinger type inequality. Consequently we obtain a uniform Yau-Tian-Donaldson theorem for the existence…

Odaka and Wang proved the intersection formula for the Donaldson-Futaki invariant. In this paper, we generalize this result for the higher Futaki invariants which are obstructions to asymptotic Chow semistability.

We compute the Donaldson-Thomas invariants for two types of Calabi-Yau 3-folds. These invariants are associated to the moduli spaces of rank-2 Gieseker semistable sheaves. None of the sheaves are locally free, and their double duals are…

A Poincar\'e type K\"ahler metric on the complement X\D of a simple normal crossing divisor D, in a compact K\"ahler manifold X, is a K\"ahler metric on X\D with cusp singularity along D. We relate the Futaki character for holomorphic…

We prove that constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) manifolds with transcendental cohomology class are K-semistable, naturally generalising the situation for polarised manifolds. Relying on a very recent result by R. Berman, T. Darvas…

We prove new adjunction inequalities for embedded surfaces in four-manifolds with non-negative self-intersection number by using the Donaldson invariants. These formulas are completely analogous to the ones obtained by Ozsv\'ath and Szab\'o…
