Stable-pairs rationality conjecture for vertical classes on K3 fibrations

Let VV be a nonsingular projective threefold that is the total space of a K3 fibration π:VC\pi:V\to C over a nonsingular projective curve, and let βH2(V,Z)π\beta\in H_2(V,\mathbb{Z})^\pi be a nonzero vertical class. Define

ZP(V;q)β=nN~n,βqn,{\mathsf{Z}}_{\mathsf{P}}(V;q)_\beta=\sum_n \widetilde{N}^{\bullet}_{n,\beta}q^n,

where N~n,β\widetilde{N}^{\bullet}_{n,\beta} is the stable-pairs invariant. Stable-pairs rationality conjecture. The partition function ZP(V;q)β{\mathsf{Z}}_{\mathsf{P}}(V;q)_\beta is the Laurent expansion of a rational function in qq.

This is presented as a special case of the stable-pairs rationality conjecture for threefolds. The source notes that the partition function is a Laurent series because the stable-pairs moduli spaces are empty for sufficiently negative Euler characteristic.
