The DT/PT correspondence for Calabi–Yau 4-folds

Let XX be a smooth projective Calabi–Yau 4-fold, let In(X,β)I_n(X,\beta) be the Hilbert scheme of one-dimensional subschemes with Chern character (0,0,0,β,n)(0,0,0,\beta,n), and let In,β(X)(γ1,,γm)I_{n,\beta}(X)(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_m) and I0,β(X)I_{0,\beta}(X) be the associated ideal-sheaf invariants. Let Pn,β(X)(γ1,,γm)P_{n,\beta}(X)(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_m) and P0,β(X)P_{0,\beta}(X) be the corresponding stable-pair invariants. DT/PT correspondence. For βH2(X)\beta\in H_2(X), γiH(X,Z)\gamma_i\in H^*(X,\mathbb Z), and nZn\in\mathbb Z, there exists a choice of orientation such that

I0,β(X)=P0,β(X),In,β(X)(γ1,,γm)=Pn,β(X)(γ1,,γm).I_{0,\beta}(X)=P_{0,\beta}(X),\qquad I_{n,\beta}(X)(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_m)=P_{n,\beta}(X)(\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_m).

This is the proposed Calabi–Yau 4-fold analogue of the established DT/PT correspondence for Calabi–Yau 3-folds. It is verified in several examples, but remains open in general.
