The polarization-independence conjecture for refined Vafa–Witten generating functions

Let SS be the surface under consideration, let c1(S)c_1(S) denote its first Chern class, and let v0(S)v_0(S) be the null vector specified in the source. Write Span(c1(S),v0(S))+\operatorname{Span}(c_1(S),v_0(S))^+ for the part of their span lying in the Kähler cone, and let JJ be a polarization in this cone. Let hN,μ,JSh^S_{N,\mu,J} denote the generating function and let ΘN,μS(τ,z;{Φn(J)})\Theta^S_{N,\mu}(\tau,z;\{\Phi_n(J)\}) be the corresponding theta-series expression with kernels evaluated at JJ. Polarization-independence conjecture. For every JSpan(c1(S),v0(S))+J\in\operatorname{Span}(c_1(S),v_0(S))^+, one has

hN,μ,JS=ΘN,μS(τ,z;{Φn(J)}).h^S_{N,\mu,J}=\Theta^S_{N,\mu}(\tau,z;\{\Phi_n(J)\}).

This extends the canonical-chamber formula to a more general polarization and predicts that the refined Vafa–Witten generating functions retain the same theta-series structure throughout the specified part of the Kähler cone. The supplied text gives no resolution status for this assertion.
