abstract

We define new invariants of 3d Calabi-Yau categories endowed with a stability structure. Intuitively, they count the number of semistable objects with fixed class in the K-theory of the category ("number of BPS states with given charge" in physics language). Formally, our motivic DT-invariants are elements of quantum tori over a version of the Grothendieck ring of varieties over the ground field. Via the quasi-classical limit "as the motive of affine line approaches to 1" we obtain numerical DT-invariants which are closely related to those introduced by Behrend. We study some properties of both motivic and numerical DT-invariants including the wall-crossing formulas and integrality. We discuss the relationship with the mathematical works (in the non-triangulated case) of Joyce, Bridgeland and Toledano-Laredo, as well as with works of physicists on Seiberg-Witten model (string junctions), classification of N=2 supersymmetric theories (Cecotti-Vafa) and structure of the moduli space of vector multiplets. Relating the theory of 3d Calabi-Yau categories with distinguished set of generators (called cluster collection) with the theory of quivers with potential we found the connection with cluster transformations and cluster varieties (both classical and quantum).

Large Order Enumerative Geometry, Black Holes and Black Rings

hep-th · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Numerical study of high-genus GV invariants reveals 5D indices matching BMPV black-hole entropy below a critical angular momentum and black-ring dominance above, with additional phase transitions and growth laws in PT and DT invariants.

Macdonald Index From Refined Kontsevich-Soibelman Operator

hep-th · 2025-11-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A refined Kontsevich-Soibelman operator is conjectured to have trace equal to the Macdonald index for special 4d N=2 SCFTs, yielding closed forms for (A1, g) Argyres-Douglas theories.

Quiver Yangians as Coulomb branch algebras

hep-th · 2025-02-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Conjectures that quantum Coulomb branch algebras of 3D N=4 unitary quiver gauge theories equal truncated shifted quiver Yangians Y(ˆQ, ˆW), verified explicitly for tree-type quivers via monopole actions on 1/2-BPS vortices.

Classical correlation functions at strong coupling from hexagonalization

hep-th · 2026-05-05 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In the classical strong-coupling regime, half-BPS correlation functions in planar N=4 SYM exponentiate under the hexagon formalism and are governed by TBA equations structurally equivalent to Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke equations, enabling a chi-system for both polygonal and closed geometries.
