Proof of a magnificent conjecture

M. Kool, J. V. Rennemo

Motivated by super-Yang-Mills theory on a Calabi-Yau 4-fold, Nekrasov and Piazzalunga have assigned weights to -tuples of solid partitions and conjectured a formula for their we…

A Hopf index for isotropic sections of orthogonal bundles

Martijn Kool, Jeongseok Oh, Jørgen Vold Rennemo +1

The Hopf index equates the multiplicity of a zero of a section of a vector bundle with a winding number. We give eight analogues for isotropic sections of bundles with quadratic fo…

Sheaves on surfaces and virtual invariants

L. Göttsche, M. Kool

Moduli spaces of stable sheaves on smooth projective surfaces are in general singular. Nonetheless, they carry a virtual class, which -- in analogy with the classical case of Hilbe…
