Geometry from Donaldson-Thomas invariants

Tom Bridgeland
(Sheffield)
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.

Models. They are dominating our Lockdown lives. But what is a mathematical model? We hear a lot about the end result, but how is it put together? What are the assumptions? And how accurate can they be?

In our first online only lecture Robin Thompson, Research Fellow in Mathematical Epidemiology in Oxford, will explain. Robin is working on the ongoing modelling of Covid-19 and has made many and varied media appearances in the past few weeks. We are happy to take questions after the lecture.
