Vanishing conjecture for stable-pairs descendents of holomorphic (p,0)(p,0)-classes

Let XX be a simply-connected smooth projective 3-fold, let γHp,0(X)\gamma\in H^{p,0}(X) with p=2p=2 or p=3p=3, and let DDPTXD\in\mathbb D_{\textup{PT}}^{X}. For k0k\geq 0, the stable-pairs descendent invariant chk(γ)Dn,βX,PT\left\langle\textup{ch}_k(\gamma)D\right\rangle_{n,\beta}^{X,\textup{PT}} is defined by integration over the virtual class. Vanishing conjecture. For every k0k\geq 0, nZn\in\mathbb Z, and βH2(X;Z)\beta\in H_2(X;\mathbb Z),

chk(γ)Dn,βX,PT=0.\left\langle\textup{ch}_k(\gamma)D\right\rangle_{n,\beta}^{X,\textup{PT}}=0.

This vanishing is presented as a consequence of the stable-pairs Virasoro conjecture: the class ch2(γ)\textup{ch}_2(\gamma) vanishes, and the Virasoro relations would force all the displayed descendents to vanish. Since the underlying Virasoro conjecture is open in this generality, this consequence is also open.
