Multiple-cover conjecture for sheaf-counting invariants on K3 surfaces

Let SS be a K3 surface, let H~(S,Z)=ZH2(S,Z)Z\widetilde{H}(S,\mathbb{Z})=\mathbb{Z}\oplus H^2(S,\mathbb{Z})\oplus\mathbb{Z} be its Mukai lattice, and let vv be an algebraic class in this lattice. Write (v,v)(v,v) for the Mukai pairing, let kvk\mid v mean that v/kv/k is again an integral Mukai class, and let Hilbm(S)\operatorname{Hilb}^m(S) denote the Hilbert scheme of mm points on SS. Multiple-cover conjecture. The sheaf-counting invariant satisfies

J(v)=k1, kv1k2χ(Hilb(v/k,v/k)/2+1(S)).J(v)=\sum_{k\geq 1,\ k\mid v}\frac{1}{k^2}\chi\left(\operatorname{Hilb}^{(v/k,v/k)/2+1}(S)\right).

The formula extends the known primitive-class calculation and is motivated by the multiple-cover behavior of related invariants. The source states that a complete computation for nonprimitive vv is not available, so the conjecture is presented as open.
