Abstract

We study certain DT invariants arising from stable coherent sheaves in a nonsingular projective threefold supported on the members of a linear system of a fixed line bundle. When the canonical bundle of the threefold satisfies certain positivity conditions, we relate the DT invariants to Carlsson–Okounkov formulas for the “twisted Euler number” of the punctual Hilbert schemes of nonsingular surfaces, and conclude they have a modular property.
