Abstract

We study a class of flat bundles, of finite rank $N$, which arise naturally from the Donaldson–Thomas theory of a Calabi–Yau threefold $X$ via the notion of a variation of BPS structure. We prove that in a large $N$ limit their flat sections converge to the solutions to certain infinite-dimensional Riemann–Hilbert problems recently found by Bridgeland. In particular this implies an expression for the positive degree, genus 0 Gopakumar–Vafa contribution to the Gromov–Witten partition function of $X$ in terms of solutions to confluent hypergeometric differential equations.
