Yoon Jae Nho - Donaldson-Thomas transformations, weaves and networks
October 28, 2026
Abstract
Many cluster varieties can be realized as braid varieties, including double Bruhat cells, double Bott–Samelson cells, and positroid varieties. Their cluster structures arise from type A Demazure weaves, whose Legendrian projections give Lagrangian fillings of Legendrian positive braid links. Kontsevich-Soibelman DT series and the associated cluster Donaldson–Thomas transformations provide fundamental invariants of these braid varieties. In this talk, we present a new method for computing cluster Donaldson–Thomas transformations for type A Demazure weaves using Gaiotto–Moore–Neitzke spectral networks. This talk is based on a joint project with Daping Weng.
