Geometric decomposition conjecture for the K3 elliptic genus

About 12 years old · traced to

Let XX be a K3 surface with holomorphic tangent bundle T:=T1,0XT:=T^{1,0}X, and let Eq,−y\mathbb E_{q,-y} be the formal power series of holomorphic vector bundles used to define the geometric elliptic genus. Let e(τ)e(\tau) be the function in the K3 elliptic-genus decomposition. For each n∈N>0n\in\mathbb N_{>0}, let pnp_n be a polynomial and write

pn(T)=∑j=0NnajT⊗jifpn(x)=∑j=0Nnajxj,p_n(T)=\sum_{j=0}^{N_n}a_jT^{\otimes j}\quad\text{if}\quad p_n(x)=\sum_{j=0}^{N_n}a_jx^j,

with T⊗0=OXT^{\otimes 0}=\mathcal O_X. Geometric decomposition conjecture. There are such polynomials pnp_n satisfying

Eq,−y=−OX⋅χ0(τ,z)+T⋅χmm(τ,z)+∑n=1∞pn(T)⋅qnχ^(τ,z),\mathbb E_{q,-y}=-\mathcal O_X\cdot\chi_0(\tau,z)+T\cdot\chi_{\rm mm}(\tau,z)+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}p_n(T)\cdot q^n\widehat\chi(\tau,z),

and

e(τ)=∑n=1∞(∫XTd⁡(X)pn(T))⋅qn.e(\tau)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\int_X\operatorname{Td}(X)p_n(T)\right)\cdot q^n.

This conjecture seeks a geometric counterpart to the representation-theoretic decomposition of the K3 elliptic genus and is proposed as a step toward understanding Mathieu moonshine; the source gives no resolution.
