  1. An introduction to motivic Hall algebras.

    Authors: Tom Bridgeland

    Abstract

    We give an introduction to Joyce's construction of the motivic Hall algebra
    of coherent sheaves on a variety M. When M is a Calabi-Yau threefold we define
    a semi-classical integration map from a Poisson subalgebra of this Hall algebra
    to the ring of functions on a symplectic torus. This material will be used in
    arxiv:1002.4374 to prove some basic properties of Donaldson-Thomas
    curve-counting invariants on Calabi-Yau threefolds.

  2. Hall algebras and curve-counting invariants.

    Authors: Tom Bridgeland

    Abstract

    We use Joyce's theory of motivic Hall algebras to prove that reduced
    Donaldson-Thomas curve-counting invariants on Calabi-Yau threefolds coincide
    with stable pair invariants, and that the generating functions for these
    invariants are Laurent expansions of rational functions.

  3. Helices on del Pezzo surfaces and tilting Calabi-Yau algebras.

    Authors: Tom Bridgeland, David Stern
    Subjects: Rings and Algebras
    Abstract

    We study tilting for a class of Calabi-Yau algebras associated to helices on
    Fano varieties. We do this by relating the tilting operation to mutations of
    exceptional collections. For helices on del Pezzo surfaces the algebras are of
    dimension three, and using an argument of Herzog, together with results of
    Kuleshov and Orlov, we obtain a complete description of the tilting process in
    terms of quiver mutations.
