Pole-constraint conjecture for stable-pairs descendent partition functions

Let XX be a nonsingular projective 33-fold and let βH2(X,Z)\beta\in H_2(X,\mathbb Z) be a nonzero effective class. Let d=div(β)d=\operatorname{div}(\beta) be the divisibility of the image of β\beta in H2(X,Z)/torsionH_2(X,\mathbb Z)/\text{torsion}. Pole-constraint conjecture. The poles in qq of the rational function

ZP(X;q i=1rτki(γi))β\mathsf Z_{\mathsf P}\Big(X;q\ \Big| \prod_{i=1}^r \tau_{k_i}(\gamma_i)\Big)_\beta

may occur only at q=0q=0 and at roots of the polynomials 1(q)m1-(-q)^m for 1md1\le m\le d. The source presents this as part of the expected pole constraints; no resolution is supplied.
