Halpern-Leistner's spanning conjecture for Fano varieties

Let XX be a Fano variety, let τH2(X)\tau\in\mathrm{H}^2(X), and let SC\mathscr{S}\subset\mathbf{C}^* be a sector. Let σ(\cEτ)\sigma(\cE_\tau) be the spectrum of the Euler operator \cEττ()\cE_\tau\star_\tau(-), and write σ(\cEτ)\lvert\sigma(\cE_\tau)\rvert for its underlying set. For a real number rr, define

FrHalg(X):={αHalg(X):log\cZteiφτ(α)rt1+o(t1) as t0}.F^r\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{alg}}^\bullet(X):=\left\{\alpha\in\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{alg}}^\bullet(X):\log\lvert\cZ_{te^{\mathtt{i}\varphi}}^\tau(\alpha)\rvert\leq rt^{-1}+o(t^{-1})\text{ as }t\to0\right\}.

Halpern-Leistner's spanning conjecture. For any Fano variety XX, there exist τH2(X)\tau\in\mathrm{H}^2(X) and a sector SC\mathscr{S}\subset\mathbf{C}^* such that, for every τ\tau-admissible phase φ\varphi with R>0eiφS\mathbf{R}_{>0}e^{\mathtt{i}\varphi}\subset\mathscr{S}, there is a quasi-convergent path σt,φτ\sigma_{t,\varphi}^\tau in Stab(X)\operatorname{Stab}(X) for which, for every r=Re(λeiφ)r=\operatorname{Re}(-\lambda e^{-\mathtt{i}\varphi}) with λσ(\cEτ)\lambda\in\lvert\sigma(\cE_\tau)\rvert, the space FrHalg(X)F^r\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{alg}}^\bullet(X) is spanned by Chern characters of limit semistable objects of σt,φτ\sigma_{t,\varphi}^\tau.

This conjecture is an interpretation of Halpern-Leistner's proposal connecting asymptotic quantum-connection growth with categorical decompositions. The asserted spanning property is open.
