BPS-crystal expansion of D6 qqqq-characters

From papers

Let Z=X×CZ=X\times\mathbb{C} be a toric Calabi–Yau four-fold, where XX is a toric Calabi–Yau three-fold with quiver Q=(Q0,Q1)Q=(Q_0,Q_1) and deformation parameters {qI}IQ1\{q_I\}_{I\in Q_1}. A three-dimensional BPS crystal Λ\Lambda is a set of colored atoms with color map c:ΛQ0\mathrm{c}:\Lambda\to Q_0 and origin atom o\mathfrak{o}. For an atom \cube\cube, define

χX,x(\cube)=xIpath[o\cube]qI.\chi_{X,x}(\cube)=x\prod_{I\in\operatorname{path}[\mathfrak{o}\to\cube]}q_I.

Let Ai(x)\mathsf{A}_i(x) and Wi(x)\mathsf{W}_i(x) be the D0- and D6-brane operators, qi\mathfrak{q}_i the instanton parameters, and KK the parameter in the second character. The coefficients ZiD6[Λ(i)]\mathcal{Z}^{\mathrm{D6}}_i[\Lambda^{(i)}] and ZiD6[K,Λ(i)]\mathcal{Z}^{\mathrm{D6}}_i[K,\Lambda^{(i)}] are determined by commutativity with screening charges.

D6 qqqq-character BPS-crystal conjecture. For iQ0i\in Q_0, the qqqq-characters are

Ti(x)=Λ(i)qiΛ(i)ZiD6[Λ(i)]:Wi(x)\cubeΛ(i)Ac(\cube)1(χX,x(\cube)):,\mathsf{T}_{i}(x)=\sum_{\Lambda^{(i)}}\mathfrak{q}_{i}^{|\Lambda^{(i)}|}\mathcal{Z}^{\mathrm{D6}}_{i}[\Lambda^{(i)}]:\mathsf{W}_{i}(x)\prod_{\cube\in\Lambda^{(i)}}\mathsf{A}_{\mathrm{c}(\cube)}^{-1}(\chi_{X,x}(\cube)):, TiK(x)=Λ(i)qiΛ(i)ZiD6[K,Λ(i)]:Wi(x)Wi(Kx)\cubeΛ(i)Ac(\cube)1(χX,x(\cube)):.\mathsf{T}^{K}_{i}(x)=\sum_{\Lambda^{(i)}}\mathfrak{q}_{i}^{|\Lambda^{(i)}|}\mathcal{Z}^{\mathrm{D6}}_{i}[K,\Lambda^{(i)}]:\frac{\mathsf{W}_{i}(x)}{\mathsf{W}_{i}(Kx)}\prod_{\cube\in\Lambda^{(i)}}\mathsf{A}_{\mathrm{c}(\cube)}^{-1}(\chi_{X,x}(\cube)):.

They satisfy

[Ti(x),Qj(x)]=0,[TiK(x),Qj(x)]=0.[\mathsf{T}_{i}(x),\mathscr{Q}_{j}(x')]=0,\qquad [\mathsf{T}^{K}_{i}(x),\mathscr{Q}_{j}(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.
