*Abstract:* Last time we used nested Hilbert schemes to express vertical 
Vafa-Witten invariants of a surface S in terms of (unknown) universal 
power series, which are generating functions for intersection numbers on 
Hilbert schemes of points on S.

In this lecture we will reduce to the case that the surface S is toric, 
and then explain how to explicitly compute the generating functions via 
localization. We will present the formulas obtained.

Next time we will sketch how to use Mochizuki's formula to do the same 
for the horizontal Vafa-Witten invariants.

This will be a hybrid seminar. All are very welcome to join either 
online or in person.
