Abstract: For a Calabi-Yau 4-fold (X,omega), where X is quasi-projective and omega is a nowhere vanishing section of its canonical bundle KX, the (derived) moduli stack of compactly supported perfect complexes mathcalMX is 2-shifted symplectic and thus has an orientation bundle OomegaomathcalMX in the sense of Borisov-Joyce arXiv:1504.00690 necessary for defining Donaldson-Thomas type invariants of X. We extend first the orientability result of Cao-Gross-Joyce arXiv:1811.09658 to projective spin 4-folds. Then for any smooth projective compactification , such that is strictly normal crossing, we define orientation bundles on the stack and express these as pullbacks of mathbbZ2-bundles in gauge theory constructed using positive Dirac operators on the double of X. As a result, we relate the orientation bundle OomegaomathcalMX to a gauge-theoretic orientation on the classifying space of compactly supported K-theory. Using orientability of the latter, we obtain orientability of mathcalMX. We also prove orientability of moduli spaces of stable pairs and Hilbert schemes of proper subschemes. Finally, we consider the compatibility of orientations under direct sums.
