ADHM Bundles and counting surfaces in Calabi--Yau fourfolds

Abstract
The recent seminal work by Bae, Kool and Park establishes a DT type theory counting surfaces in Calabi--Yau fourfolds. I will present on joint work with R. Szabo on computing a variant of surface counts on CY4s using Diaconescu--Piazzalunga's technology of ADHM Bundles and Coulomb branch localization on a smooth, toric, projective surface.
 
We compute these enumerative invariants by computing the partition function of a topologically twisted Gauge theory similar in nature to Vafa--Witten's twist of 4d N=4 SYM. 
 

Applications for the Micro-Internship Programme are open until 2 November 2026. The programme offers from to two to five day voluntary learning and development opportunities with a diverse range of organisations during weeks 9 and 10 of Michaelmas term.

We have opened up a new Get Hired programme for accounting and finance students interested in graduate roles (2024 - 2027 graduates) and summer internships (2028 graduates looking for a 2027 summer internship). Both groups can apply via this form.
