報(bào)告摘要: 
We introduce and analyze tetrahedron instantons, which can be realized in string theory by D0-branes probing a configuration of intersecting D6-branes with a nonzero constant background B-field. Physically they capture instantons in six-dimensional gauge theories with the most general intersecting codimention-two supersymmetric defects. We study the properties of the moduli space of tetrahedron instantons. We compute the instanton partition function, which lies between the higher-rank Donaldson-Thomas invariants and the partition function of the magnificent four model. Remarkably the instanton partition function has a closed-form expression in terms of the plethystic exponential, and matches the index of M-theory on a Calabi-Yau fivefold. Our computations provide an equivariant test of the duality between M-theory and type IIA string theory.
