Duality conjecture for modular Nahm sums

Let (A,b,c,d)(A,b,c,d) be parameters of a Nahm sum, and suppose that the associated symmetrizable matrix has symmetrizer DD. Define

A=A1,b=A1b,A^*=A^{-1},\qquad b^*=A^{-1}b, c=12bT(AD)1btrD24c,d=d.c^*=\frac12 b^{\mathsf T}(AD)^{-1}b-\frac{\operatorname{tr}D}{24}-c,\qquad d^*=d.

Duality conjecture. If the Nahm sum associated with (A,b,c,d)(A,b,c,d) is modular, then the Nahm sum associated with (A,b,c,d)(A^*,b^*,c^*,d^*) is also modular. The conjecture proposes a general modularity-preserving operation exchanging AA with its inverse; the source presents it as an expectation and gives no resolution status.
