Nekrasov's conjecture for the empty fourfold DT vertex

Let t1,t2,t3,t4,y,qt_1,t_2,t_3,t_4,y,q be formal variables satisfying t1t2t3t4=1t_1t_2t_3t_4=1. For any formal variable xx, write [x]=x12x12[x]=x^{\frac12}-x^{-\frac12}, and let Exp\operatorname{Exp} denote the plethystic exponential. The empty fourfold Donaldson–Thomas vertex is VDT(t,y,q)\mathsf{V}_{\varnothing\varnothing\varnothing\varnothing}^{\mathrm{DT}}(t,y,q). Nekrasov's conjecture. There exist unique choices of signs such that

VDT(t,y,q)=Exp(F(t,y,q)),\mathsf{V}_{\varnothing\varnothing\varnothing\varnothing}^{\mathrm{DT}}(t,y,q)=\operatorname{Exp}(\mathcal F(t,y,q)),

where

F(t,y,q)=[t1t2][t1t3][t2t3][y][t1][t2][t3][t4][y12q][y12q1]Q(t1,t2,t3,t4,y12)(t1t2t3t41)((q)).\mathcal F(t,y,q)=\frac{[t_1t_2][t_1t_3][t_2t_3][y]}{[t_1][t_2][t_3][t_4][y^{\frac12}q][y^{\frac12}q^{-1}]}\in \frac{\mathbb Q(t_1,t_2,t_3,t_4,y^{\frac12})}{(t_1t_2t_3t_4-1)}((q)).

The existence part is attributed to Nekrasov, while the uniqueness of the signs is the part conjectured here.
