In this work, we study the web of dualities relating various enumerative invariants, notably Gromov-Witten invariants and invariants that arise in topological gauge theory. In particular, we study Donaldson- Thomas gauge theory and its reductions to D = 4 and D = 2 which are relevant to the local theory of surfaces in Calabi-Yau threefolds.
