Katz product expansion conjecture for the PT generating series

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau 33-fold, let β>0\beta>0 range over effective curve classes, and let PT(X)\mathop{\rm PT}\nolimits(X) be the Pandharipande–Thomas generating series. Katz product expansion conjecture. There are integers ngβZn_g^\beta\in\mathbb Z for g0g\geq 0 and βH2(X,Z)\beta\in H_2(X,\mathbb Z) such that

PT(X)=β>0(j=1(1(q)jtβ)jn0βg=1k=02g2(1(q)g1ktβ)(1)k+gngβ(2g2k)).\mathop{\rm PT}\nolimits(X)=\prod_{\beta>0}\left(\prod_{j=1}^{\infty}(1-(-q)^jt^\beta)^{j n_0^\beta}\cdot\prod_{g=1}^{\infty}\prod_{k=0}^{2g-2}(1-(-q)^{g-1-k}t^\beta)^{(-1)^{k+g}n_g^\beta\binom{2g-2}{k}}\right).

The formula is a conjectural product expression for the PT series in terms of Gopakumar–Vafa invariants and leads to predicted multicover formulas for curve-counting invariants.
