Quadratic motivic Donaldson–Thomas conjecture for real threefolds

Let XX be a smooth projective threefold over R\mathbb{R}, equipped with an isomorphism

KXL2K_X\cong L^{\otimes 2}

for some line bundle LL on XX. For n0n\geq 0, let I~n\tilde{I}_n be the quadratic degree of the motivic virtual fundamental class associated to Hilbn(X)\operatorname{Hilb}^n(X). Let ob2(X)\operatorname{ob}_2(X) denote the obstruction sheaf on Hilb2(X)\operatorname{Hilb}^2(X), let e(ob2(X))e(\operatorname{ob}_2(X)) be its Euler class, and let deg~\widetilde{\deg} denote quadratic degree. Quadratic motivic Donaldson–Thomas conjecture. One has

n0I~nqn=M(q2)deg~(e(ob2(X))).\sum_{n\geq 0}\tilde{I}_nq^n=M(-q^2)^{-\widetilde{\deg}(e(\operatorname{ob}_2(X)))}.

The conjecture is motivated by the computed values for PR3\mathbb{P}^3_{\mathbb{R}}, where the first nonzero invariants agree with the expansion of M(q2)10M(-q^2)^{-10}. The source does not provide evidence resolving the conjecture, and its stated range includes all even nn, where the localization method encounters positive-dimensional fixed loci.
