This talk concerns the relationships between Donaldson-Thomas, Pandharipande-Thomas, and Szendroi invariants established via analysis of the geometry of wall crossing phenomena of suitably general moduli spaces. I aim to give a reasonably detailed account of the simplest example, the conifold, where in fact all of the major ideas can be easily seen.
