The 4D Barth conjecture for framed sheaf and ADHM moduli spaces
The 4D Barth conjecture for framed sheaf and ADHM moduli spaces
Let be the discrete parameters for the 4D ADHM quiver, and let be its stable representation moduli space. Let be the moduli space of framed sheaves on with the corresponding parameters, equipped with their -equivariant 3-term symmetric obstruction theories. The 4D Barth conjecture. For any , there exists a -equivariant isomorphism
intertwining the -equivariant 3-term symmetric obstruction theories on both sides. Both spaces have the same discrete parameters, -equivariant derived enhancements with a -shifted symplectic form, and the same virtual dimension. The conjecture is supported by the isomorphism of their -fixed loci and the coincidence of their virtual tangent representations at -fixed points, but the global isomorphism remains unproved.
