These stable pairs are related to 2-dimensional subschemes of the 4-folds via wall-crossings in the space of polynomial stability conditions that led us to some categorical and Hall algebra relations. In Calabi-Yau case, we apply Oh-Thomas theory to define invariants counting these stable pairs under some restrains. If time allows, I will talk about some examples and applications. This is a joint work with Yunfeng Jiang and Jason Lo.
