Let Z=X×C be a toric Calabi–Yau four-fold, where X is a toric Calabi–Yau three-fold with quiver Q=(Q0,Q1) and deformation parameters {qI}I∈Q1. A three-dimensional BPS crystal Λ is a set of colored atoms with color map c:Λ→Q0 and origin atom o. For an atom \cube, define
χX,x(\cube)=xI∈path[o→\cube]∏qI.
Let Ai(x) and Wi(x) be the D0- and D6-brane operators, qi the instanton parameters, and K the parameter in the second character. The coefficients ZiD6[Λ(i)] and ZiD6[K,Λ(i)] are determined by commutativity with screening charges.
D6 qq-character BPS-crystal conjecture. For i∈Q0, the qq-characters are
Ti(x)=Λ(i)∑qi∣Λ(i)∣ZiD6[Λ(i)]:Wi(x)\cube∈Λ(i)∏Ac(\cube)−1(χX,x(\cube)):,
TiK(x)=Λ(i)∑qi∣Λ(i)∣ZiD6[K,Λ(i)]:Wi(Kx)Wi(x)\cube∈Λ(i)∏Ac(\cube)−1(χX,x(\cube)):.
They satisfy
[Ti(x),Qj(x′)]=0,[TiK(x),Qj(x′)]=0.
The coefficients are fixed by these commutation relations, and the monomials are classified by three-dimensional BPS crystals. The construction and its coefficients are explicitly presented as conjectural and are left for future clarification.
