Wall-Crossing from Supersymmetric Galaxies

چکیده
We give an elementary physical derivation of the Kontsevich-Soibelman wall crossing formula, valid for any theory with a 4d N = 2 supergravity description. Our argument leads to a slight generalization of the formula, which relates monodromy to the BPS spectrum.

Instantons, Topological Strings, and Enumerative Geometry
We review and elaborate on certain aspects of the connections between instanton counting in maximally supersymmetric gauge theories and the computation of enumerative invariants of smooth varieties. We study in detail three instances of gauge theories in six, four, and two dimensions which naturally arise in the context of topological string theory on certain noncompact threefolds. We describe ...
متن کاملDonaldson invariants for non-simply connected manifolds
We study Coulomb branch (“u-plane”) integrals for N = 2 supersymmetric SU(2), SO(3) Yang-Mills theory on 4-manifolds X of b1(X) > 0, b + 2 (X) = 1. Using wall-crossing arguments we derive expressions for the Donaldson invariants for manifolds with b1(X) > 0, b+2 (X) > 0. Explicit expressions for X = CP 1 × Fg, where Fg is a Riemann surface of genus g are obtained using Kronecker’s double series...
متن کاملEMISSION-LINE OBJECTS FROM A PRELIMINARY UKST OBJECTIVE PRISM SURVEY
A visual search has been made of four fields using United Kingdom 1.2m Schmidt Objective Prism plates with a reciprocal dispersion of 1 180 A/mm at HP. Such plate material is ideally suited to searches for emission-line galaxies. We present a catalogue of 53 emission-line objects, which comprises 45 galaxies, where individual HI1 regions are resolved in 16 bright galaxies; 8 are emission li...

We propose a general set of constraints on the partition function of quarter BPS dyons in any N = 4 supersymmetric string theory by drawing insight from known examples, and study the consequences of this proposal. The main ingredients of our analysis are duality symmetries, wall crossing formula and black hole entropy. We use our analysis to constrain the dyon partition function for two hithert...
