Abstract: Based on computations of Pandharipande, Zinger proved that the Gopakumar-Vafa BPS invariants $mathrm{BPS}_{A,g}(X,omega)$ for primitive Calabi-Yau classes and arbitrary Fano classes $A$ on a symplectic $6$-manifold $(X,omega)$ agree with the signed count $n_{A,g}(X,omega)$ of embedded $J$-holomorphic curves representing $A$ and of genus $g$ for a generic almost complex structure $J$ compatible with $omega$. Zinger's proof of the invariance of $n_{A,g}(X,omega)$ is indirect, as it relies on Gromov--Witten theory. In this article we give a direct proof of the invariance of $n_{A,g}(X,omega)$. Furthermore, we prove that $n_{A,g}(X,omega)=0$ for $ggg1$, thus proving the Gopakumar-Vafa finiteness conjecture for primitive Calabi-Yau classes and arbitrary Fano classes.

Review text

For the case of symplectic \(6\)-manifolds, the authors find a simpler proof of Zinger's result that the Gopakumar-Vafa BPS invariants of Fano classes and primitive Calabi-Yau classes agree with the signed count of embedded pseudoholomorphic curves. They also prove finiteness, i.e., vanishing in sufficiently high genus, of these invariants on these classes.
