Joint seminar series on Mathematical Physics and String Theory
Abstract: Motivated by M-theory, I will review rank n nn K-theoretic Donaldson-Thomas theory on a toric threefold and its factorisation properties in the context of 5d/7d correspondence. In the context of this discussion I will revise the use of the Duistermaat-Heckman formula for non-compact toric Kahler manifolds, pointing out some mathematical and physical puzzles.
