Abstract: A deformed Donaldson-Thomas (dDT) connection is a Hermitian connection of a Hermitian line bundle over a $G_2$-manifold $X$ satisfying a certain nonlinear PDE. This is considered to be the mirror of a (co)associative cycle in the context of mirror symmetry. The dDT connection is an analogue of a deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills (dHYM) connection which is extensively studied recently. In this paper, we study the moduli spaces of dDT and dHYM connections. In the former half, we prove that the deformation of dDT connections is controlled by a subcomplex of the canonical complex, an elliptic complex defined by Reyes Carri'on, by introducing a new coclosed $G_2$-structure. If the deformation is unobstructed, we also show that the connected component is a $b^1$-dimensional torus, where $b^1$ is the first Betti number of $X$. A canonical orientation on the moduli space is also given. We also prove that the obstruction of the deformation vanishes if we perturb the $G_2$-structure generically under some mild assumptions. In the latter half, we prove that the moduli space of dHYM connections, if it is nonempty, is a $b^1$-dimensional torus, especially, it is connected and orientable. We also prove the existence of a family of moduli spaces along a deformation of underlying structures if some necessary conditions are satisfied.

Review text

A \textit{deformed Donaldson-Thomas (dDT) connection} is a Hermitian connection \(\nabla\) of smooth complex line bundle \(L\) with a Hermitian metric \(h\) over a manifold \(X^7\) with a \(G_2\)-structure \(\varphi \in \Omega^3(X^7)\) satisfying \(\frac{1}{6} F^3_\nabla + F_\nabla \wedge \ast\varphi = 0\), where \(F_\nabla\) if the curvature \(2\)-form of \(\nabla\). A \textit{deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills connection (dHYM)} is a Hermitian connection \(\nabla\) of a smooth complex line bundle \(L\) with Hermitian metric over a Kähler manifold \((X, \omega)\), \(\dim_\mathbb{C} X = n\), satisfying \(F^{0,2}_\nabla = 0\) and \(\operatorname{Im}(e^{i\theta}(\omega + F\nabla)^n) = 0\) for a constant \(\theta \in \mathbb{R}\), where \(F^{0,2}_\nabla\) is the \((0,2)\)-part of the curvature \(2\)-form of \(\nabla\). The authors explain the origins of dDT and dHYM connections: in physics dHYM connections were derived as minimizers of Dirac-Born-Infeld action [\textit{M. Mariño} et al., J. High Energy Phys. 2000, No. 1, Paper No. 01(2000)005, 31 p. (2000; Zbl 0990.81585)], and in mathematics dHYM connection was obtained as the real Fourier-Mukai transform of a special Lagrangian cycle in a Calabi-Yau manifold in the context of mirror symmetry [\textit{N. C. Leung}, J. Differ. Geom. 45, No. 3, 514--546 (1997; Zbl 0926.53017)]. The dDT connection was introduced as the real Fourier-Mukai transform of an associative cycle [\textit{J.-H. Lee} and \textit{N. C. Leung}, Adv. Theor. Math. Phys. 13, No. 1, 1--31 (2009; Zbl 1171.81417)]. The dHYM and dDT connections can also be considered as analogues of Hermitian Yang-Mills (HYM) connections and Donaldson-Thomas (DT) connections. The HYM and DT connections are also called Hermite-Einstein connections and \(G_2\)-instantons, respectively. The main topic of the paper is to study the moduli spaces of dDT and dHYM connections. In particular, the authors prove that the moduli space of dHYM connections, if it is nonempty, is a \(b^1\)-dimensional torus, where where \(b^1\) is the first Betti number of \(X\). Also, for dDT connection, they show that under some conditions the connected component of the moduli space is a \(b^1\)-dimensional torus.
