Invariants of pure 2-dimensional sheaves inside threefolds and modular
forms
   [PDF]

Amin Gholampour, Artan Sheshmani
Motivated by S-duality modularity conjectures in string theory, we study the Donaldson-Thomas type invariants of pure 2-dimensional sheaves inside a nonsingular threefold X in three different situations: (1). X is a K3 fibration over a curve. We study the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the 2 dimensional Gieseker stable sheaves in X supported on the fibers. Analogous to the Gromov-Witten theory formula established in the work of M.P., we express these invariants in terms of the Euler characteristic of the Hilbert scheme of points on the K3 surface and the Noether-Lefschetz numbers of the fibration, and prove that the invariants have modular properties. (2). X is the total space of the canonical bundle of P^2. We study the generalized Donaldson-Thomas invariants defined by J.S. of the moduli spaces of the 2-dimensional Gieseker semistable sheaves on X with first Chern class equal to k times the class of the zero section of X. When k=1,2 or 3, and semistability implies stability, we express the invariants in terms of known modular forms. We prove a combinatorial formula for the invariants when k=2 in the presence of the strictly semistable sheaves, and verify the BPS integrality conjecture of Joyce-Song in some cases. (3). (Joint with Richard Thomas) X is a Calabi-Yau threefold and L is a sufficiently positive line bundle. We define new invariants counting a restricted class of 2-dimensional torsion sheaves, enumerating pairs (Z,H) in X where H is a member of the linear system |L| and Z is a 1-dimensional subscheme of H. The associated sheaf is the ideal sheaf of Z in H, pushed forward to X and considered as a certain Joyce-Song pair in the derived category of X. We express these invariants in terms of the MNOP invariants of X.
