14 Poisson algebraic torus Consider the algebraic torus with character lattice Γ: T + = Hom Z (Γ, C ) = (C ) n C[T + ] = γ Γ C x γ = C[x ±1 1,, x ±n n ]. The form, induces an invariant Poisson structure on T + : {x α, x β } = α, β x α x β. 6 / 25

The form, induces an invariant Poisson structure on T + : {x α, x β } = α, β x α x β. More precisely we should work with an associated torsor T = { g : Γ C : g(γ 1 + γ 2 ) = ( 1) γ 1,γ 2 g(γ 1 ) g(γ 2 ) }, which we call the twisted torus. 6 / 25

17 DT Hamiltonians The DT invariants DT(γ) Q of a BPS structure are defined by DT(γ) = γ=nα Ω(α) n 2. For any ray l = R >0 z C we consider the generating function DT(l) = DT(γ) x γ. Z(γ) l A ray l C is called active if this expression is nonzero. 7 / 25

Z(γ) l A ray l C is called active if this expression is nonzero. We would like to think of the time 1 Hamiltonian flow of the function DT(l) as defining a Poisson automorphism S(l) of the torus T. 7 / 25

Analytic approach Restrict attention to BPS structures which are convergent: R > 0 such that γ Γ Ω(γ) e R Z(γ) <. Then on suitable analytic open subsets of T the sum DT(l) is absolutely convergent and its time 1 Hamiltonian flow S(l) exists. 8 / 25
