Independence-of-chi conjecture for DT4 invariants of irreducible curve classes

Let XX be a smooth projective Calabi–Yau 44-fold, let βH2(X,Z)\beta\in H_2(X,\mathbb{Z}) be an irreducible curve class, and let γ1,,γl\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_l be integral cohomology classes used as insertions. Denote by DT4(n,βγ1,,γl)\mathop{\rm DT}\nolimits_4(n,\beta\,|\,\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_l) the DT4 invariant obtained from the moduli space of one-dimensional stable sheaves with Chern character (0,0,0,β,n)(0,0,0,\beta,n). Independence-of-chi conjecture. For certain choices of orientation in defining them, the invariants

DT4(n,βγ1,,γl)\mathop{\rm DT}\nolimits_4(n,\beta\,|\,\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_l)

are independent of the choice of nn. This predicts that, for irreducible curve classes, changing the Euler-characteristic parameter does not change the DT4 invariant after compatible orientation choices; the statement is proposed in the appendix and remains open.
