Curve counting and S-duality

چکیده
We work on a projective threefold $X$ which satisfies the Bogomolov-Gieseker conjecture of Bayer-Macr\`i-Toda, such as $\mathbb P^3$ or quintic threefold. prove certain moduli spaces 2-dimensional torsion sheaves are smooth bundles over Hilbert schemes ideal curves and points in $X$. When is Calabi-Yau this gives simple wall crossing formula expressing curve counts (and so ultimately Gromov-Witten invariants) terms D4-D2-D0 branes. These latter invariants predicted to have modular properties we discuss from point view S-duality Noether-Lefschetz theory.

Curve Counting and Instanton Counting
Intuitively, in four-dimensional gauge theories one counts instantons, and in twodimensional string theory one counts holomorphic curves. These correspond to the instanton counting and curve counting in the title. There is no obvious connection between them, but a remarkable physical idea called geometric engineering [9, 10, 11] dictates that they are indeed related. More precisely, the generat...
متن کاملTHE DUALITY OF THE L?-REPRESENTATION ALGEBRA ?(S ) OF A FOUNDATION SEMIGROUP S AND FUNCTION ALGEBRAS
In the present paper for a large family of topological semigroups, namely foundation semigroups, for which topological groups and discrete semigroups are elementary examples, it is shown that ?(S) is the dual of a function algebra.
متن کاملDuality and S-theory
1. Given topological spaces X and Fand two continuous mappings ƒ o and jfi from X to F (denoted by fo, fi : X—> F) we say that ƒ o is homotopic to jfi (denoted by fo—fi) if there exists a continuous family of continuous mappings ht: X—+Y for O^t^l such that ho=fo and h =/ i . Intuitively fo<^fi if the map ƒ o can be continuously deformed into the map jfi. I t is easily seen [4; 7] that the rela...
متن کاملThe Elliptic Curve in the S-duality Theory and Eisenstein Series for Kac-moody Groups
We establish a relation between the generating functions appearing in the S-duality conjecture of Vafa and Witten and geometric Eisenstein series for KacMoody groups. For a pair consisting of a surface and a curve on it, we consider a refined generating function (involving G-bundles with parabolic structures along the curve) which depends on the elliptic as well as modular variables and prove i...
متن کاملReducing S duality to T duality.
The infrared limit of D = 4, N = 4 Yang-Mills theory with compact gauge group G compactified on a two-torus is governed by an effective superconformal field theory. We conjecture that this is a certain orbifold involving the maximal torus of G. Yang-Mills S-duality makes predictions for all correlators of this effective conformal field theory. These predictions are shown to be implied by the st...
