The upgraded polynomiality conjecture for descendent invariants of K3 surfaces

About 3 years old · traced to

Let SS, β\beta, δi\delta_i, and the normalized descendent invariant be as in the polynomiality conjecture, with ki,mi≥1k_i,m_i\geq1. For subsets Ix⊂1,…,xI_x\subset\\{1,\ldots,x\\}, where xx ranges over r,s,t,ur,s,t,u, fix the indices whose labels are not in the corresponding subsets. Upgraded polynomiality conjecture. There exists a polynomial pp of degree β2+2−2u−t+r\beta^2+2-2u-t+r such that, when the varying indices ki,ℓi,mi,nik_i,\ell_i,m_i,n_i with ii in Ir,Is,It,IuI_r,I_s,I_t,I_u satisfy the same polynomial range as above, the normalized invariant equals

p((ki)i∈Ir,(ℓi)i∈Is,(mi)i∈It,(ni)i∈Iu).p\left((k_i)_{i\in I_r},(\ell_i)_{i\in I_s},(m_i)_{i\in I_t},(n_i)_{i\in I_u}\right).

This strengthens the preceding conjecture by asserting polynomiality in any selected subset of descendent indices while the remaining indices are held fixed.
