Cao–Maulik–Toda wall-crossing conjecture for stable pairs on Calabi–Yau fourfolds

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a smooth projective Calabi–Yau 44-fold, let βH2(X,Z)\beta\in H_2(X,\mathbb Z) and nZ0n\in\mathbb Z_{\geqslant0}, and choose a generic tR>0t\in\mathbb R_{>0}. Let Pn,βt(γ)P^t_{n,\beta}(\gamma) be the ZtZ_t-stable-pair invariant, let P0,βP_{0,\beta} be the degree-zero stable-pair invariant, and let n0,β(γ)n_{0,\beta}(\gamma) be the genus 00 Gopakumar–Vafa type invariant for γH4(X,Z)\gamma\in H^4(X,\mathbb Z). Cao–Maulik–Toda wall-crossing conjecture. For suitable choices of orientations,

Pn,βt(γ)=β0+β1++βn=βωβi>1t, i=1,,nP0,β0i=1nn0,βi(γ).P^t_{n,\beta}(\gamma)=\sum_{\substack{\beta_0+\beta_1+\cdots+\beta_n=\beta\\ \omega\cdot\beta_i>\frac1t,\ i=1,\ldots,n}}P_{0,\beta_0}\prod_{i=1}^n n_{0,\beta_i}(\gamma).

In particular, P0,βt(γ)=P0,β(γ)P^t_{0,\beta}(\gamma)=P_{0,\beta}(\gamma) is independent of the choice of t>0t>0.

This is the main conjecture of the paper and generalizes the PT/GV correspondence by describing wall crossing among ZtZ_t-stable-pair invariants. The source states it as conjectural and verifies it in several geometric examples.
