Gopakumar–Vafa invariants via vanishing cycles

D Maulik, Y Toda - Inventiones mathematicae, 2018 - Springer
In this paper, we propose an ansatz for defining Gopakumar–Vafa invariants of Calabi–Yau
threefolds, using perverse sheaves of vanishing cycles. Our proposal is a modification of a …

Vafa-Witten invariants for projective surfaces I: stable case

Y Tanaka, RP Thomas - arXiv preprint arXiv:1702.08487, 2017 - arxiv.org
On a polarised surface, solutions of the Vafa-Witten equations correspond to certain
polystable Higgs pairs. When stability and semistability coincide, the moduli space admits a …

[HTML][HTML] Zero-dimensional Donaldson–Thomas invariants of Calabi–Yau 4-folds

Y Cao, M Kool - Advances in Mathematics, 2018 - Elsevier
We study Hilbert schemes of points on a smooth projective Calabi–Yau 4-fold X. We define
DT 4 invariants by integrating the Euler class of a tautological vector bundle L [n] against the …

Holomorphic anomaly equations and the Igusa cusp form conjecture

G Oberdieck, A Pixton - Inventiones mathematicae, 2018 - Springer
Let S be a K3 surface and let E be an elliptic curve. We solve the reduced Gromov–Witten
theory of the Calabi–Yau threefold S * ES× E for all curve classes which are primitive in the …

Compact moduli of K3 surfaces

V Alexeev, P Engel - Annals of Mathematics, 2023 - projecteuclid.org
We construct geometric compactifications of the moduli space F_2d of polarized K3 surfaces
in any degree 2d. Our construction is via KSBA theory, by considering canonical choices of …

Equivariant K-Theory and Refined Vafa–Witten Invariants

RP Thomas - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2020 - Springer
Abstract In Maulik and Thomas (in preparation) the Vafa–Witten theory of complex projective
surfaces is lifted to oriented C^* C∗-equivariant cohomology theories. Here we study the K …

Gromov–Witten theory of elliptic fibrations: Jacobi forms and holomorphic anomaly equations

G Oberdieck, A Pixton - Geometry & Topology, 2019 - msp.org
We conjecture that the relative Gromov–Witten potentials of elliptic fibrations are (cycle-
valued) lattice quasi-Jacobi forms and satisfy a holomorphic anomaly equation. We prove …

Stable pair invariants of local Calabi–Yau 4-folds

Y Cao, M Kool, S Monavari - … Mathematics Research Notices, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Abstract In 2008, Klemm–Pandharipande defined Gopakumar–Vafa type invariants of a
Calabi–Yau 4-folds using Gromov–Witten theory. Recently, Cao–Maulik–Toda proposed a …
