Geometry from Donaldson-Thomas invariants
Abstract
I will describe an ongoing research project which aims to encode the DT invariants of a CY3 triangulated category in a geometric structure on its space of stability conditions. More specifically we expect to find a complex hyperkahler structure on the total space of the tangent bundle. These ideas are closely related to the work of Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke from a decade ago. The main analytic input is a class of Riemann-Hilbert problems involving maps from the complex plane to an algebraic torus with prescribed discontinuities along a collection of rays.
The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) that was held in Oslo in July 1936 was a unique event that took place in turbulent times, research by Oxford Mathematician Christopher Hollings has revealed.
The Coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) poses unprecedented challenges for governments and societies around the world. In addition to medical measures, non-pharmaceutical measures have proven to be critical for delaying and containing the spread of the virus. However, effective and rapid decision-making during all stages of the pandemic requires reliable and timely data not only about infections, but also about human behaviour, especially on mobility and physical co-presence of people.
