Maulik–Pandharipande–Thomas stable-pair/GV correspondence for Calabi–Yau fourfolds

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a smooth projective Calabi–Yau 44-fold, let Pn,β(γ)P_{n,\beta}(\gamma) be its stable-pair invariants with γH4(X,Z)\gamma\in H^4(X,\mathbb Z), and let n0,β(γ)n_{0,\beta}(\gamma) and n1,βn_{1,\beta} be the genus 00 and genus 11 Gopakumar–Vafa type invariants. Let

M(q)=k1(1qk)kM(q)=\prod_{k\geqslant1}(1-q^k)^{-k}

be the MacMahon function. Maulik–Pandharipande–Thomas conjecture. For certain choices of orientations,

Pn,β(γ)=β0+β1++βn=β,ωβi>0, i=1,,nP0,β0i=1nn0,βi(γ),P_{n,\beta}(\gamma)=\sum_{\substack{\beta_0+\beta_1+\cdots+\beta_n=\beta,\\ \omega\cdot\beta_i>0,\ i=1,\ldots,n}}P_{0,\beta_0}\prod_{i=1}^n n_{0,\beta_i}(\gamma),

and

β0P0,βqβ=β>0M(qβ)n1,β.\sum_{\beta\geqslant0}P_{0,\beta}q^\beta=\prod_{\beta>0}M(q^\beta)^{n_{1,\beta}}.

This conjecture proposes a PT/GV correspondence on Calabi–Yau fourfolds, expressing stable-pair invariants through genus 00 and genus 11 GV-type invariants. The source presents it as conjectural and records verification in several examples.
