Abstract: By showing a structural result on how the Rozansky-Witten invariants of Hilbert schemes of points on a K3 surface and the Generalised Kummer varieties depend on the dimension, we give a method how to compute a large class of Rozansky-Witten invariants in terms of Chern numbers.

Review text

A compact hyper-Kähler manifold \((X,g)\) is a compact Riemannian manifold whose holonomy is contained in Sp\((n)\). \textit{L. Rozansky} and \textit{E. Witten} [Sel. Math., New Ser. 3, No. 3, 401--458 (1997; Zbl 0908.53027)] describe how one can associate to every vertex-oriented trivalent graph \(\Gamma\) an invariant \(b_\Gamma(X)\) to \(X\). If \((X,g)\) is given the structure of a Kähler manifold then \(X\) carries a holomorpic sympletic two-form and is thus called a holomorphic sympletic manifold. In [Compos. Math. 115, No. 1, 71--113 (1999; Zbl 0993.53026)] \textit{M. Kapronov} shows how one can calculate \(b_\Gamma(X)\) from \(X\) and the two-form it carries. The two main examples of holomorphic symplectic manifolds are the Hilbert schemes \(X^{[n]}\) of points on a K3 surface \(X\) and the generalized Kummer varieties \(A^{n}\). Actual calculations for some of these examples are carried out by \textit{J. Sawson} [``Rozansky-Witten invariants of hyperkähler manifolds. PhD thesis, University of Cambridge, October (1999); see also ``The Rozansky-Witten invariants of hyperkähler manifolds. Kolár, I. (ed.) et al., Differential geometry and applications. Proceedings of the 7th international conference, DGA 98, and satellite conference of ICM in Berlin, Brno, Czech Republic, August 10--14, 1998. Brno: Masaryk University. 429--436 (1999; Zbl 0946.32014)]. The author proves a conjecture of Sawson for the main examples, for graph homology classes that are in a certain algebra generated by closed polywheels (which may include all of the examples). He can calculate \(b_\Gamma(X)\) without dimension restrictions. The paper includes definitions, examples and the appropriate references to provide an introduction to the subject and the contribution it makes.
