Curve counting via stable pairs in the derived category

R Pandharipande, RP Thomas - Inventiones mathematicae, 2009 - Springer
For a nonsingular projective 3-fold X, we define integer invariants virtually enumerating pairs
(C, D) where C⊂ X is an embedded curve and D⊂ C is a divisor. A virtual class is …

Donaldson-Thomas type invariants via microlocal geometry

K Behrend - Annals of Mathematics, 2009 - JSTOR
We prove that Donaldson-Thomas type invariants are equal to weighted Euler
characteristics of their moduli spaces. In particular, such invariants depend only on the …

13/2 ways of counting curves

R Pandharipande, RP Thomas - Moduli spaces, 2014 - books.google.com
In the past 20 years, compactifications of the families of curves in algebraic varieties X have
been studied via stable maps, Hilbert schemes, stable pairs, unramified maps, and stable …

Derived algebraic geometry, determinants of perfect complexes, and applications to obstruction theories for maps and complexes

T Schürg, B Toën, G Vezzosi - Journal für die reine und angewandte …, 2015 - degruyter.com
A quasi-smooth derived enhancement of a Deligne–Mumford stack 𝒳 naturally endows 𝒳
with a functorial perfect obstruction theory in the sense of Behrend–Fantechi. We apply this …

Counting invariant of perverse coherent sheaves and its wall-crossing

K Nagao, H Nakajima - International Mathematics Research …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We introduce moduli spaces of stable perverse coherent systems on small crepant
resolutions of Calabi–Yau 3-folds and consider their Donaldson–Thomas-type counting …

Generating functions for colored 3D Young diagrams and the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of orbifolds

J Bryan, B Young - 2010 - projecteuclid.org
We derive two multivariate generating functions for three-dimensional (3D) Young diagrams
(also called plane partitions). The variables correspond to a coloring of the boxes according …

[HTML][HTML] Motivic Donaldson–Thomas invariants of the conifold and the refined topological vertex

A Morrison, S Mozgovoy, K Nagao, B Szendrői - Advances in Mathematics, 2012 - Elsevier
We compute the motivic Donaldson–Thomas theory of the resolved conifold, in all chambers
of the space of stability conditions of the corresponding quiver. The answer is a product …

Computing a pyramid partition generating function with dimer shuffling

B Young - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 2009 - Elsevier
We verify a recent conjecture of Kenyon/Szendrői by computing the generating function for
pyramid partitions. Pyramid partitions are closely related to Aztec Diamonds; their …

Stability conditions and curve counting invariants on Calabi–Yau 3-folds

Y Toda - 2012 - projecteuclid.org
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we give a survey on the recent developments of
curve counting invariants on Calabi–Yau 3-folds, for example, Gromov–Witten theory …

The quantum McKay correspondence for polyhedral singularities

J Bryan, A Gholampour - Inventiones mathematicae, 2009 - Springer
Let G be a polyhedral group, namely a finite subgroup of SO (3). Nakamura's G-Hilbert
scheme provides a preferred Calabi-Yau resolution Y of the polyhedral singularity ℂ 3/G …
