The combinatorial PT-DT correspondence

15 Dec 2020  ·  Helen Jenne, Gautam Webb, Benjamin Young ·

We resolve an open conjecture from algebraic geometry, which states that two generating functions for plane partition-like objects (the "box-counting" formulae for the Calabi-Yau topological vertices in Donaldson-Thomas theory and Pandharipande-Thomas theory) are equal up to a factor of MacMahon's generating function for plane partitions. The main tools in our proof are a Desnanot-Jacobi-type "condensation" identity, and a novel application of the tripartite double-dimer model of Kenyon-Wilson.
