Curve counting on elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds via derived categories (Q2302853)

Summary: We prove the elliptic transformation law of Jacobi forms for the generating series of Pandharipande-Thomas invariants of an elliptic Calabi-Yau threefold over a reduced class in the base. This proves part of a conjecture by Huang, Katz, and Klemm [\textit{M.-x. Huang} et al., J. High Energy Phys. 2015, No. 10, Paper No. 125, 80 p. (2015; Zbl 1388.81219)]. For the proof we construct an involution of the derived category and use wall-crossing methods. We express the generating series of PT invariants in terms of low genus Gromov-Witten invariants and universal Jacobi forms. As applications we prove new formulas and recover several known formulas for the PT invariants of \(\text{K3} \times E\), abelian 3-folds, and the STU-model. We prove that the generating series of curve counting invariants for \(\text{K3} \times E\) with respect to a primitive class on the \(\text{K3}\) is a quasi-Jacobi form of weight \(-10\). This provides strong evidence for the Igusa cusp form conjecture.
