Hall algebras and curve-counting invariants

Algebraic Geometry 2020-06-26 v3

Abstract

We use Joyce's theory of motivic Hall algebras to prove that reduced Donaldson-Thomas curve-counting invariants on Calabi-Yau threefolds coincide with stable pair invariants, and that the generating functions for these invariants are Laurent expansions of rational functions.

Comments

38 pages. Version 2 corrected an error in the published paper kindly pointed out by Yukinobu Toda. Version 3 corrects a further error pointed out by Toda and Tasuki Kinjo. The only changes are footnotes on pages 27 and 38, together with new Sections 7.3 and 7.4 which explain the mistakes and how to fix them
