This paper contains some applications of Bridgeland-Douglas stability conditions on triangulated categories, and Joyce's work on counting invariants of semistable objects, to the study of birational geometry. We introduce the notion of…
We propose a general theory of the Open Gromov-Witten invariant on Calabi-Yau three-folds. We introduce the moduli space of multi-curves and show how it leads to invariants. Our construction is based on an idea of Witten. In the special…
We offer a new construction of Lagrangian submanifolds for the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture relating the Chern-Simons theory on the 3-sphere and the Gromov-Witten theory on the resolved conifold. Given a knot in the 3-sphere its conormal…
We rederive a relation between the genus-one GW-invariants of a quintic threefold in $\Pf$ and the genus-zero and genus-one GW-invariants of $\Pf$. In contrast to the more general derivation in a separate paper, the present derivation…
In this paper, we study non-commutative projective schemes whose associated non-commutative graded algebras are finite over their centers. We study their moduli spaces of stable sheaves, and construct a symmetric obstruction theory in the…
We use Gromov-Witten theory to study rational curves in holomorphic symplectic varieties. We present a numerical criterion for the existence of uniruled divisors swept out by rational curves in the primitive curve class of a very general…
Let $V$ be a linear representation of a connected complex reductive group $G$. Given a choice of character $\theta$ of $G$, Geometric Invariant Theory defines a locus $V^{ss}_\theta(G) \subseteq V$ of semistable points. We give necessary,…
This article deals with a number of topics which are, somewhat surprisingly, related. Firstly, the fundamental theorem of skew invariant theory for the symplectic group giving the generators and relations of symplectic invariants is…
In this article we define stable supercurves and super stable maps of genus zero via labeled trees. We prove that the moduli space of stable supercurves and super stable maps of fixed tree type are quotient superorbifolds. To this end, we…
Families of smooth closed oriented 4-manifolds with a complex spin structure are studied by means of a family version of the Bauer--Furuta invariants in the context of parametrised stable homotopy theory, leading to a definition of…
For any smooth complex projective surface $S$, we construct semistable refined Vafa-Witten invariants of $S$ which prove the main conjecture of arXiv:1810.00078. This is done by extending part of Joyce's universal wall-crossing formalism to…
Hilbert scheme topological invariants of plane curve singularities are identified to framed threefold stable pair invariants. As a result, the conjecture of Oblomkov and Shende on HOMFLY polynomials of links of plane curve singularities is…
There is a set of remarkable physical predictions for the structure of BCOV's higher genus B-model of mirror quintic 3-folds which can be viewed as conjectures for the Gromov-Witten theory of quintic 3-folds. They are (i) Yamaguchi--Yau's…
Let S be a nonsingular projective K3 surface. Motivated by the study of the Gromov-Witten theory of the Hilbert scheme of points of S, we conjecture a formula for the Gromov-Witten theory (in all curve classes) of the Calabi-Yau 3-fold S x…
We prove a formula which relates Euler characteristic of moduli spaces of stable pairs on local K3 surfaces to counting invariants of semistable sheaves on them. Our formula generalizes Kawai-Yoshioka's formula for stable pairs with…
This is a survey article on the stable cohomotopy refinement of Seiberg-Witten invariants containing also new results, for example: - Stable cohomotopy groups describe path components of certain mapping spaces. - Relation of stable…
We initiate here the study of Gromov-Witten theory of locally conformally symplectic manifolds or $\lcs$ manifolds, $\lcsm$'s for short, which are a natural generalization of both contact and symplectic manifolds. We find that the main new…
Two 3-fold flops are exhibited, both of which have precisely one flopping curve. One of the two flops is new, and is distinct from all known algebraic D4-flops. It is shown that the two flops are neither algebraically nor analytically…
We show that \emph{vertical} contributions to (possibly semistable) Tanaka-Thomas-Vafa-Witten invariants are well defined for surfaces with $p_g(S)>0$, partially proving conjectures of \cite{TT2} and \cite{T}. Moreover, we show that such…
For local Calabi-Yau manifolds which are total spaces of vector bundle over balloon manifolds, we propose a formal definition of reduced Genus one Gromov-Witten invariants, by assigning contributions from the refined decorated rooted trees.…
