The Virasoro constraint for moduli of sheaves

Let XX be a smooth projective variety and let MM be a moduli space of sheaves on XX with virtual fundamental class [M]vir[M]^{\mathrm{vir}}. Let DX\mathbb{D}^X be the descendent algebra and let Lwt0 ⁣:DXDwt0X\mathsf{L}_{\mathrm{wt}_0}\colon\mathbb{D}^X\to\mathbb{D}^X_{\mathrm{wt}_0} be the weight-zero Virasoro operator. Virasoro constraint for sheaves. For every DDXD\in\mathbb{D}^X,

[M]virLwt0(D)=0.\int_{[M]^{\mathrm{vir}}}\mathsf{L}_{\mathrm{wt}_0}(D)=0.

The paper proves this conjecture in the stated curve and surface cases under its hypotheses, but the formulation is presented generally as a conjectural constraint.
