Abstract

Let $\mathcal{A}_n \to \mathbb{C}^2 / \mathbb{Z}_{n+1}$ be the minimal resolution of $\mathcal{A}_n$-singularity and $X = \mathcal{A}_n \times \mathbb{C}^2$ be the associated toric Calabi–Yau $4$-fold. In this note, we study curve counting on $X$ from both Donaldson–Thomas and Gromov–Witten perspectives. In particular, we verify conjectural formulae relating them proposed by the author, Maulik and Toda.

Keywords
