Rank-one orbifold instanton conjecture on [C3/(Z2×Z2)]×C[\mathbb{C}^3/(\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2)]\times\mathbb{C}

Let q=(q0,q1,q2,q3)\vec{\mathtt{q}}=(\mathtt{q}_0,\mathtt{q}_1,\mathtt{q}_2,\mathtt{q}_3) and Q=q0q1q2q3\mathtt{Q}=\mathtt{q}_0\mathtt{q}_1\mathtt{q}_2\mathtt{q}_3. Define

L(x1,x2,x3,q)=M~(x1,q)M~(x2,q)M~(x3,q)M~(x1x2x3,q),L(x_1,x_2,x_3,q)=\widetilde M(x_1,q)\widetilde M(x_2,q)\widetilde M(x_3,q)\widetilde M(x_1x_2x_3,q),

where M(x,q)=k=1(1xqk)kM(x,q)=\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}(1-xq^k)^{-k} and M~(x,q)=M(x,q)M(x1,q)\widetilde M(x,q)=M(x,q)M(x^{-1},q). For p<sp<s in {1,2,3}\{1,2,3\}, let (ps)(ps)^- be the unique element of {1,2,3}{p,s}\{1,2,3\}\setminus\{p,s\}. Rank-one Z2×Z2\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2 orbifold conjecture. The equivariant instanton partition function of the cohomological U(1)\mathsf{U}(1) gauge theory with massive fundamental matter on [C3/(Z2×Z2)]×C[\mathbb{C}^3/(\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2)]\times\mathbb{C} is

\begin{aligned} Z&=\frac{M(\mathtt{Q})^{m\frac{\epsilon_1\epsilon_2\epsilon_3-\epsilon_1^2\epsilon_2-\epsilon_1^2\epsilon_3-\epsilon_2^2\epsilon_3-\epsilon_1\epsilon_2^2-\epsilon_1\epsilon_3^2-\epsilon_2\epsilon_3^2}{\epsilon_1\epsilon_2\epsilon_3\epsilon_4}}{L(-\mathtt{q}_1,-\mathtt{q}_2,-\mathtt{q}_3,\mathtt{Q})^{m/\epsilon_4}}\\ &\quad\times\prod_{1\leq p<s\leq3}\widetilde M(\mathtt{q}_p\mathtt{q}_s,\mathtt{Q})^{m\frac{\epsilon_{(ps)^-}-\epsilon_{ps}}{2\epsilon_4\epsilon_{(ps)^-}}}. \end{aligned}

The formula is motivated by dimensional reduction and matching leading terms with the known three-orbifold Donaldson--Thomas expression; a direct proof is not supplied, although the source notes that related techniques may apply.
