Asymptotic Form of Gopakumar–Vafa Invariants from Instanton Counting
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the asymptotic form of the Gopakumar–Vafa invariants at all genus for Calabi–Yau toric threefolds which have the structure of fibration of the An singularity over P. We claim that the asymptotic form is the inverse Laplace transform of the corresponding instanton amplitude in the prepotential of N = 2 SU(n + 1) gauge theory coupled to external graviphoton fields, which is given by the logarithm of the Nekrasov’s partition function.

Topological Strings, Instantons and Asymptotic Forms of Gopakumar–Vafa Invariants
We calculate the topological string amplitudes of Calabi–Yau toric threefolds corresponding to 4D, N = 2 SU(2) gauge theory with Nf = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 fundamental hypermultiplets by using the method of the geometric transition and show that they reproduce Nekrasov’s formulas for instanton counting. We also determine the asymptotic forms of the Gopakumar–Vafa invariants of the Calabi–Yau threefolds...
متن کاملThe Gopakumar-vafa Formula for Symplectic Manifolds
The Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture predicts that the Gromov-Witten invariants of a CalabiYau 3-fold can be canonically expressed in terms of integer invariants called BPS numbers. Using the methods of symplectic Gromov-Witten theory, we prove that the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture holds for any symplectic Calabi-Yau 6-manifold, and hence for Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The results extend to all symplectic 6-man...
متن کاملBirational Calabi-Yau 3-folds and BPS state counting
This paper contains some applications of Bridgeland-Douglas stability conditions on triangulated categories, and Joyce’s work on counting invariants of semistable objects, to the study of birational geometry. We introduce the notion of motivic Gopakumar-Vafa invariants as counting invariants of D2-branes, and show that they are invariant under birational transformations between Calabi-Yau 3-fol...

We show that Gopakumar-Vafa (GV) invariants can be expressed in terms of the cohomology ring of moduli space of D-branes without reference to the (sl2)L ⊕ (sl2)R action. We also give a simple construction of this action.
