AB - We study the full stable pair theory --- with descendents --- of theCalabi-Yau 3-fold $X=K_S$, where $S$ is a surface with a smooth canonicaldivisor $C$. By both $\mathbb C^$-localisation and cosection localisation we reduce tostable pairs supported on thickenings of $C$ indexed by partitions. We showthat only strict partitions contribute, and give a complete calculation forlength-1 partitions. The result is a surprisingly simple closed product formulafor these "vertical" thickenings. This gives all contributions for the curve classes $[C]$ and $2[C]$ (andthose which are not an integer multiple of the canonical class). Here theresult verifies, via the descendent-MNOP correspondence, a conjecture ofMaulik-Pandharipande, as well as various results about the Gromov-Witten theoryof $S$ and spin Hurwitz numbers.
