Relative stable pairs/Gromov–Witten descendent correspondence

Let XX be a nonsingular projective 33-fold, let DXD\subset X be a nonsingular divisor, and let γ1,,γH(X,Q)\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_\ell\in H^*(X,\mathbb{Q}) restrict to zero on DD. Let μ\mu be a relative partition, and let τα11(γ1)τα1(γ)\overline{\tau_{\alpha_1-1}(\gamma_1)\cdots\tau_{\alpha_\ell-1}(\gamma_\ell)} be the transformed descendent insertion defined from the correspondence matrix for the logarithmic tangent bundle TX[D]T_X[-D]. Set q=eiu-q=e^{iu}.

Relative descendent GW/Pairs correspondence.

(q)dβ/2ZP(X/D;q τα11(γ1)τα1(γ) μ)β=(iu)dβ+(μ)μZGW(X/D;u τα11(γ1)τα1(γ) μ)β.(-q)^{-d_\beta/2}\mathsf Z_{\mathsf P}\Big(X/D;q\ \Big|\tau_{\alpha_1-1}(\gamma_1)\cdots\tau_{\alpha_\ell-1}(\gamma_\ell)\ \Big|\mu\Big)_\beta = (-iu)^{d_\beta+\ell(\mu)-|\mu|}\mathsf Z'_{\mathsf{GW}}\Big(X/D;u\ \Big|\overline{\tau_{\alpha_1-1}(\gamma_1)\cdots\tau_{\alpha_\ell-1}(\gamma_\ell)}\ \Big|\mu\Big)_\beta.

The conjecture is restricted to insertions vanishing on the relative divisor because the transformed descendent correspondence is subtle for arbitrary classes. The source states that the stable-pairs descendent series is also conjectured to be rational in qq.
