Abstract

Let $X$ be the total space of the canonical bundle of $\mathbb{P}^2$. We study the generalized Donaldson–Thomas invariants defined in [JS11] of the moduli spaces of the $2$-dimensional Gieseker semistable sheaves on $X$ with first Chern class equal to $k$ times the class of the zero section of $X$. When $k =$ $1$, $2$, or $3$, and semistability implies stability, we express the invariants in terms of known modular forms. We prove a combinatorial formula for the invariants when $k = 2$ in the presence of the strictly semistable sheaves, and verify the BPS integrality conjecture of [JS11] in some cases.
