DESCRIPTION:A string theoretic construction will be presented relating BPS
  states\, Donaldson-Thomas invariants and the cohomology of the Hitchin sy
 stem. In particular\, the work of Hausel and Rodrgiguez-Villegas will be g
 iven a natural physical explanation based on geometric engineering.\n\nThi
 s is work in collaboration with Wu-yen Chuang and Guang Pan.\n
