Complex hyperkähler structures defined by Donaldson–Thomas invariants

Abstract

AbstractThe notion of a Joyce structure was introduced in Bridgeland (Geometry from Donaldson–Thomas invariants, preprint arXiv:1912.06504) to describe the geometric structure on the space of stability conditions of a $$\hbox {CY}_3$$ CY 3 category naturally encoded by the Donaldson-Thomas invariants. In this paper we show that a Joyce structure on a complex manifold defines a complex hyperkähler structure on the total space of its tangent bundle, and give a characterisation of the resulting hyperkähler metrics in geometric terms.
