Abstract
Abstract We conjecture a Verlinde type formula for the moduli space of Higgs sheaves on a surface with a holomorphic 2-form. The conjecture specializes to a Verlinde formula for the moduli space of sheaves. Our formula interpolates between K-theoretic Donaldson invariants studied by Göttsche and Nakajima-Yoshioka and K-theoretic Vafa-Witten invariants introduced by Thomas and also studied by Göttsche and Kool. We verify our conjectures in many examples (for example, on K3 surfaces).

We study Verlinde type formulae on the moduli space of rank 2 Gieseker stable (Higgs) sheaves on, where is a smooth projective surface satisfying ( ) > 0 and 1( ) = 0
Using Mochizuki’s formula [35, Theorem 1.4.6], the latter can be written in terms of integrals on Hilbert schemes of points
Summary
Let be a smooth projective curve of genus ≥ 2 over C. The Verlinde formula (for rank 2 and trivial determinant), originating from conformal field theory [44], is the following expression: dim 0 ( , L⊗ ) =. This formula has been proved by several people [39, 5, 41, 32, 8, 38, 7, 46] (for rank 2) and [11, 3] (for general rank). We study Verlinde type formulae on the moduli space of rank 2 Gieseker stable (Higgs) sheaves on , where is a smooth projective surface satisfying ( ) > 0 and 1( ) = 0
