Tau Functions from Joyce Structures

We argued in [Proc. Sympos. Pure Math., Vol. 103, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2021, 1-66, arXiv:1912.06504] that, when a certain sub-exponential growth property holds, the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a 3-Calabi-Yau triangulated category should give rise to a geometric structure...

description We argued in [Proc. Sympos. Pure Math., Vol. 103, American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2021, 1-66, arXiv:1912.06504] that, when a certain sub-exponential growth property holds, the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a 3-Calabi-Yau triangulated category should give rise to a geometric structure on its space of stability conditions called a Joyce structure. In this paper, we show how to use a Joyce structure to define a generating function which we call the τ-function. When applied to the derived category of the resolved conifold, this reproduces the non-perturbative topological string partition function of [J. Differential Geom. 115 (2020), 395-435, arXiv:1703.02776]. In the case of the derived category of the Ginzburg algebra of the A2 quiver, we obtain the Painlevé I τ-function.

The ideas presented here have evolved from discussions with many people over a long period of time. I would particularly like to thank Sergei Alexandrov, Andy Neitzke, Boris Pioline, and Jörg Teschner for sharing their insights and for patiently explaining many basic things to me. I am also very grateful for discussions and correspondence with Murad Alim, Fabrizio Del Monte, Maciej Dunajski, Lotte Hollands, Kohei Iwaki, Omar Kidwai, Dima Korotkin, Oleg Lisovyy, Lionel Mason, Ian Strachan, and Menelaos Zikidis. Finally, I thank the anonymous referees for their careful reading and useful suggestions for improvements.
