The combinatorial conjecture for the refined local Donaldson–Thomas partition function

Let λ\lambda be a Young diagram. For each box Z02\Box\in\mathbb{Z}^2_{\geq 0}, let pλ,=Hλ()qp_{\lambda,\Box}=\prod_{\Box'\in H_\lambda(\Box)}q_{\Box'}, where Hλ()H_\lambda(\Box) is the hook at \Box with respect to λ\lambda. Let Zλspp(q)\mathsf{Z}^{\mathrm{spp}}_{\lambda}(\mathbf{q}) denote the refined local Donaldson–Thomas partition function associated with λ\lambda. The combinatorial conjecture. The following identities hold:

Zλspp(q)=Z02λ11pλ,\mathsf{Z}^{\mathrm{spp}}_{\lambda}(\mathbf{q})=\prod_{\Box\in\mathbb{Z}^2_{\geq 0}\setminus\lambda}\frac{1}{1-p_{\lambda,\Box}} =Z0211p,λ11pλ,.=\prod_{\Box\in\mathbb{Z}^2_{\geq 0}}\frac{1}{1-p_{\varnothing,\Box}}\cdot\prod_{\Box\in\lambda}\frac{1}{1-p_{\lambda,\Box}}.

This is a conjectural product formula motivated by the corresponding discussion of motives of symmetric plane partitions. The supplied passage does not provide evidence resolving the conjecture.
