Mozgovoy's degree-independence conjecture for twisted-Higgs Donaldson–Thomas invariants

About 12 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth projective curve, let DD be a divisor of degree ll, and let \cMD(r,d)\cM_D(r,d) be the moduli stack of semistable DD-twisted Higgs bundles of rank rr and degree dd. Set

\sHD(r,d)=(−q12)−lr2[\cMD(r,d)].\sH_D(r,d)=(-q^{\frac12})^{-lr^2}[\cM_D(r,d)].

For each slope τ∈R\tau\in\mathbb R, define the Donaldson–Thomas invariants \OmD(r,d)\Om_D(r,d) by

∑d/r=τ\sHD(r,d)wrzd=Exp⁡(∑d/r=τ\OmD(r,d)wrzdq−1).\sum_{d/r=\tau}\sH_D(r,d)w^rz^d=\operatorname{Exp}\left(\frac{\sum_{d/r=\tau}\Om_D(r,d)w^rz^d}{q-1}\right).

Mozgovoy's conjecture. The invariants \OmD(r,d)\Om_D(r,d) are independent of dd, without requiring rr and dd to be coprime, and are given by the formula proposed in the cited work. This is a broader conjectural formula for twisted-Higgs Donaldson–Thomas invariants, extending the degree-independence question beyond the coprime case.
