The W-algebra conformal-block conjecture for multi-leg PT vertices

Let Wq1,2,3,4(A^0)W_{q_{1,2,3,4}}(\widehat{A}_{0}) be the W-algebra associated with the quantum parameters q1,2,3,4q_{1,2,3,4}, and consider conformal blocks of multi-screened vertex operators. The associated higher-rank multi-leg Pandharipande–Thomas (PT) vertices impose boundary conditions in multiple directions of C3\mathbb{C}^3 or C4\mathbb{C}^4. Multi-leg PT vertex conjecture. The conformal block of multi-screened vertex operators of the W-algebra Wq1,2,3,4(A^0)W_{q_{1,2,3,4}}(\widehat{A}_{0}) is the higher-rank multi-leg PT vertex of C3\mathbb{C}^3 and C4\mathbb{C}^4. This identifies the algebraic conformal-block construction with the gauge-origami partition function and the PT invariants for the corresponding higher-dimensional geometries; the authors derive contour-integral formulas and check their pole structures against PT counts for various boundary conditions, but present the general identification as a conjecture.
