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 $K_X$, the (derived) moduli stack of compactly supported perfect complexes $mathcal{M}_X$ is $-2$-shifted symplectic and thus has an orientation bundle $O^{o}megaomathcal{M}_X$ 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 $mathbb{Z}_2$-bundles in gauge theory constructed using positive Dirac operators on the double of $X$. As a result, we relate the orientation bundle $O^{o}megaomathcal{M}_X$ to a gauge-theoretic orientation on the classifying space of compactly supported K-theory. Using orientability of the latter, we obtain orientability of $mathcal{M}_X$. 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.

Review text

The paper under review proves orientability of the determinant line bundles of moduli stacks of compactly supported perfect complexes of sheaves on quasi-projective Calabi-Yau 4-folds, extending corresponding results of [\textit{Y. Cao} et al., Adv. Math. 368, Article ID 107134, 59 p. (2020; Zbl 1443.14056)] on projective Calabi-Yau 4-folds. The method is similar as loc. cit. reducing the orientation problem to an orientation problem on certain spin 4-manifolds and prove using similar methods as in loc. cit.
