Abstract:

lecture 1: short recap on Donaldson-Thomas invariants on Calabi-Yau 
three folds and short introduction to general theory of DT on CY4

lecture 2: good cases such as smooth moduli spaces and survey of recent 
calculations in good cases

lecture 3: DT theory on Hilbert scheme of points on affine 4-space \C^4, 
localization calculations, links with combinatorics, Nekrasov's
                conjecture.
