BLHW01 - Number theory, machine learning and quantum black holes

BPS indices encoding entropy of supersymmetric black holes in compactifications of Type II string theory on compact Calabi-Yau threefolds coincide with generalized Donaldson-Thomas invariants whose computation represents an outstanding problem. I’ll show how this problem can be solved for a set of one-parameter threefolds by combining a direct integration of topological string, modular properties of rank 0 DT invariants counting D4-D2-D0 BPS states, and wall-crossing relations between rank 1 and rank 0 DT invariants. In particular, one obtains explicit (mock) modular functions encoding infinite sets of D4-D2-D0 BPS indices and new boundary conditions for the holomorphic anomaly equation allowing to overcome the limitations of the direct integration method.
