Compatibility of global and critical obstruction theories for local Quot schemes

About 6 years old · traced to

Let XX be the smooth toric threefold, let Uα⊂XU_\alpha\subset X be the affine chart associated with a torus fixed point, and let FF be the sheaf under consideration. Let E{\mathbb E} be the global perfect obstruction theory on Quot⁡X(F,n)\operatorname{Quot}_X(F,n), and let

ιn,α ⁣:Quot⁡Uα(F∣Uα,n)↪Quot⁡X(F,n)\iota_{n,\alpha}\colon \operatorname{Quot}_{U_\alpha}(F|_{U_\alpha},n)\hookrightarrow \operatorname{Quot}_X(F,n)

be the open immersion. Denote by Ecrit⁡{\mathbb E}_{\operatorname{crit}} the critical obstruction theory on the local Quot scheme.

Compatibility conjecture. The restriction ιn,α∗E\iota_{n,\alpha}^*{\mathbb E} agrees, as a symmetric perfect obstruction theory, with Ecrit⁡{\mathbb E}_{\operatorname{crit}}.

This would identify the global obstruction theory with the critical-locus obstruction theory on each local chart. The source notes that the general result is open, although the corresponding K-theory class comparison is known.
