Localized Donaldson-Thomas theory of surfaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let S be a projective simply connected complex surface and mathcalL be a line bundle on S. We study the moduli space of stable compactly supported 2-dimensional sheaves on the total spaces of mathcalL. The moduli space admits a mathbbC∗-action induced by scaling the fibers of mathcalL. We identify certain components of the fixed locus of the moduli space with the moduli space of torsion free sheaves and the nested Hilbert schemes on S. We define the localized Donaldson-Thomas invariants of mathcalL by virtual localization in the case that mathcalL twisted by the anti-canonical bundle of S admits a nonzero global section. When pg(S)>0, in combination with Mochizuki's formulas, we are able to express the localized DT invariants in terms of the invariants of the nested Hilbert schemes defined by the authors in [GSY17a], the Seiberg-Witten invariants of S, and the integrals over the products of Hilbert schemes of points on S. When mathcalL is the canonical bundle of S, the Vafa-Witten invariants defined recently by Tanaka-Thomas, can be extracted from these localized DT invariants. VW invariants are expected to have modular properties as predicted by S-duality.
