Tyurin degenerations, Relative Lagrangian foliations and categorification of DT invariants

Abstract:

We discuss construction of a derived Lagrangian intersection theory of moduli spaces of perfect complexes, with support on divisors on compact Calabi-Yau threefolds. Our goal is to compute deformation invariants associated to a fixed linear system of divisors in CY3. We apply a Tyurin degeneration of the CY3 into a normal-crossing singular variety composed of Fano threefolds meeting along their anti-canonical divisor. We show that the moduli space over the Fano 4 fold given by total space of the degeneration family satisfies a relative Lagrangian foliation structure which leads to realizing the moduli space as derived critical locus of a global (-1)-shifted potential function. We construct a flat Gauss-Manin connection to relate the periodic cyclic homology induced by matrix factorization category of such function to the derived Lagrangian intersection of the corresponding “Fano moduli spaces”. The latter provides one with categorification of DT invariants over the special fiber (of degenerating family). The alternating sum of dimensions of the categorical DT invariants of the special fiber induces numerical DT invariants. If there is time, we show how in terms of “non-derived” virtual intersection theory, these numerical DT invariants relate to counts of D4-D2-D0 branes which are expected to have modularity property by the S-duality conjecture. This talk is based on joint work with Jacob Krykzca.
