Zero-dimensional quiver-variety vertex-function factorization conjecture

About 1 year old · traced to

Let QQ be a quiver without loops, let M=MQ,θ(v,w)\mathcal{M}=\mathcal{M}_{Q,\theta}(\mathsf{v},\mathsf{w}) be a zero-dimensional quiver variety with θ=(1,1,…,1)\theta=(1,1,\ldots,1), and let μ=λ−∑i∈Q0viαi\mu=\lambda-\sum_{i\in Q_0}\mathsf{v}_i\alpha_i, where λ=∑i∈Q0wiϖi\lambda=\sum_{i\in Q_0}\mathsf{w}_i\varpi_i. Write Φ(x)=∏i=0∞(1−xqi)\Phi(x)=\prod_{i=0}^{\infty}(1-xq^i) and let eαi=zi(q/ℏ)bie^{\alpha_i}=z_i(q/\hbar)^{b_i}. Zero-dimensional vertex-function factorization conjecture. The vertex function of M\mathcal{M} factorizes

VM(z)=∏α∈Φμ+,re∏i=1−(α,μ)Φ(ℏ(ℏq)i−1eα)Φ((ℏq)i−1eα).\mathsf{V}_{\mathcal{M}}(z)=\prod_{\alpha\in\Phi^{+,\mathrm{re}}_\mu}\prod_{i=1}^{-(\alpha,\mu)}\frac{\Phi\left(\hbar\left(\frac{\hbar}{q}\right)^{i-1}e^{\alpha}\right)}{\Phi\left(\left(\frac{\hbar}{q}\right)^{i-1}e^{\alpha}\right)}.

This is a conjectural explicit factorization for vertex functions of zero-dimensional quiver varieties; the source notes proofs in several cases, including type AA with one framing, type DD with a single minuscule framing, and cotangent bundles of Grassmannians, while the general case remains open.
