Motivated by S-duality modularity conjectures in string theory, we define new invariants counting a restricted class of two-dimensional torsion sheaves, enumerating pairs $$Z\subset H$$Z⊂H in a Calabi–Yau threefold $$X$$X. Here $$H$$H is a member of a sufficiently positive linear system and $$Z$$Z is a one-dimensional subscheme of it. The associated sheaf is the ideal sheaf of $$Z\subset H$$Z⊂H, pushed forward to $$X$$X and considered as a certain Joyce–Song pair in the derived category of X…
