Title: Invariance of elliptic genus under wall-crossing
Date (JST): Fri, Apr 26, 2024, 15:30 - 17:00
Place: Seminar Room B
Abstract: I'll give an introduction to equivariant elliptic cohomology, elliptic genus, and wall-crossing. Then I'll talk about some forthcoming work. Abstractly, the main result is that if the exceptional loci of a wall-crossing satisfy a numerical condition, then elliptic genus is invariant when crossing the wall. Concretely, it is the vanishing of a residue of some ratio of theta functions. This is a surprisingly complicated calculation. I'll explain how to do it using a beautiful result called elliptic rigidity, and also Jeffrey-Kirwan integration. Finally, I'll give some applications to elliptic Donaldson-Thomas theory.
