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.

Abstract

Dobrushin (1972) showed that, at low enough temperatures, the interface of the 3D Ising model - the random surface separating the plus and minus phases above and below the $xy$-plane - is localized: it has $O(1)$ height fluctuations above a fixed point, and its maximum height $M_n$ on a box of side length $n$ is $O_P(\log n)$. We study this interface and derive a shape theorem for its "pillars" conditionally on reaching an atypically large height. We use this to analyze the maximum height $M_n$ of the interface, and prove that at low temperature $M_n/\log n$ converges to $c\beta$ in probability. Furthermore, the sequence $(M_n - E[M_n])_{n\geq 1}$ is tight, and even though this sequence does not converge, its subsequential limits satisfy uniform Gumbel tails bounds.

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.

Executive stock options (ESOs) are contracts awarded to employees of companies, which confer the right to reap the profit from buying the company stock (exercising the ESO) at or before a fixed maturity time $T$, for a fixed price specified in the contract (the strike price of the ESO). ESOs are used to augment the remuneration package of employees, the idea being to give them an incentive to boost the company's fortunes, and thus the stock price, making their ESO more valuable.
