Title:  Categorification of DT invariants and GV numbers (Joint with Algebraic geometry seminar)

Abstract:   DT invariants are degrees of the virtual cycles of the moduli of sheaves on Calabi-Yau threefolds. Behrend's function allows to reconstruct these invariants via weighted Euler numbers, thus can define DT-invariants motivically. A categorification of DT invariants search for perverse sheaves on these moduli
spaces so the Behrend function is the local Euler numbers of cohomology sheaves of these perverse sheaves. In a joint work with YH Kiem, we construct such perverse sheaves, with MHM structures. As a corollary, we define GV numbers via a double sl2 representations on 2-branes.
