ADHM in 8d, coloured solid partitions and Donaldson-Thomas invariants on orbifolds

Abstract

We study the moduli space of $SU(4)$ invariant BPS conditions in supersymmetric gauge theory on non-commutative ${\mathbb C}^4$ by means of an ADHM-like quiver construction and we classify the invariant solutions under the natural toric action in terms of solid partitions. In the orbifold case ${\mathbb C}^4/G$, $G$ being a finite subgroup of $SU(4)$, the classification is given in terms of coloured solid partitions. The statistical weight for their counting is defined through the associated equivariant cohomological gauge theory. We explicitly compute its partition function on ${\mathbb C}^4$ and ${\mathbb C}^2\times\left({\mathbb C}^2/{\mathbb Z}_2\right)$ which conjecturally provides the corresponding orbifold Donaldson-Thomas invariants.
