| Jun 25, 2012 at 3:29 | comment | added | David Ben-Zvi | @Yosemite Sam - the precise relation is still a little obscure, but I was referring to work of Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke relating the geometry of the Hitchin moduli spaces to wall crossing formulas and DT invariants (these are DT invariants of certain local CY3s attached to Riemann surfaces with quadratic differentials, in the SL2 case). This is another aspect of the same SUSY gauge theories giving rise to geometric Langlands, and should be connected..one of many aspects of the mysterious "theory X" (the 6d (2,0) SCFT, or M5-brane theory), which seems to contain literally everything I care about.. | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 0:48 | comment | added | Yosemite Sam | @DBZ: the links aren't working for me (although it shouldn't be hard to figure out what they are meant to me). Could you comment more on the relationship with Donaldson-Thomas invariants? | |
| Jun 27, 2010 at 2:59 | comment | added | David Ben-Zvi | @Anirbit: thanks.. I'm actually writing an introductory book on the subject, hopefully something will be available next year. There's also an excellent survey article by Ed Frenkel - that and a bunch of other references can be found on my <a href="math.utexas.edu/users/benzvi/Langlands.html">Geometric Langlands page</a>. As for prerequisites many of them can be found on <a href="math.harvard.edu/~gaitsgde/grad_2009/">Dennis Gaitsgory's page</a>. | |
