The local Donaldson–Thomas theory of curves

A Okounkov and R Pandharipande

Geometry & Topology 14 (2010) 1503–1567

DOI: 10.2140/gt.2010.14.1503
Abstract

The local Donaldson–Thomas theory of curves is solved by localization and degeneration methods. The results complete a triangle of equivalences relating Gromov–Witten theory, Donaldson–Thomas theory, and the quantum cohomology of the Hilbert scheme of points of the plane.

Dedicated to the memory of Raoul Bott
