Nekrasov's sign-uniqueness conjecture for the zero-leg DT vertex

Let λ1,λ2,λ3\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3 be the equivariant parameters for the torus action on C4\mathbb C^4, with the Calabi–Yau relation determining the fourth parameter, and let VDT(q)\mathsf V_{\varnothing\varnothing\varnothing\varnothing}^{\operatorname{DT}}(q) be the zero-leg DT vertex. Nekrasov's sign-uniqueness conjecture. There exist unique choices of signs such that

VDT(q)=exp(q(λ1+λ2)(λ1+λ3)(λ2+λ3)λ1λ2λ3(λ1+λ2+λ3)).\mathsf V_{\varnothing\varnothing\varnothing\varnothing}^{\operatorname{DT}}(q)=\exp\left(q\frac{(\lambda_1+\lambda_2)(\lambda_1+\lambda_3)(\lambda_2+\lambda_3)}{\lambda_1\lambda_2\lambda_3(\lambda_1+\lambda_2+\lambda_3)}\right).

The existence was verified through order q7q^7 and later through order q17q^{17}, while uniqueness was checked through order q5q^5 in the cited work. The full conjecture remains open.
