Title:
Quivers, Flow Trees and Log Curves

Speaker:
Pierrick Bousseau

Abstract:
Donaldson-Thomas (DT) invariants of a quiver with potential can be expressed in terms of simpler attractor DT invariants by a universal formula. The coefficients in this formula are calculated combinatorially using attractor flow trees. In joint work with Arguz (arXiv:2302.02068), we prove that these coefficients are genus 0 log Gromov-Witten invariants of d-dimensional toric varieties, where d is the number of vertices of the quiver. This result follows from a log-tropical correspondence theorem which relates (d-2)-dimensional families of tropical curves obtained as universal deformations of attractor flow trees, and rational log curves in toric varieties.
