Title: **Special time** On d-critical birational geometry and categorical DT theories
Speaker: Yukinobu Toda, Kavli IPMU
Abstract:
In this talk, I will explain an idea of analogue of birational geometry for Joyce's d-critical loci, and categorical Donaldson-Thomas theories on Calabi-Yau 3-folds. The motivations of this new framework include
categorifications of wall-crossing formulas of DT invariants and also giving a d-critical analogue of D/K conjecture in birational geometry. The main result is to realize the above story for local surfaces. I will show the window theorem for categorical DT theories on local surfaces and apply it to categorify wall-crossing invariance of genus zero GV invariants, MNOP/PT correspondence, etc.
