Conjecture on pole cancellation in the Nekrasov instanton sum with adjoint matter
Let be positive coprime integers, let , and let range over tuples of partitions with corresponding terms . Let and be the equivariant parameters, and let be the mass parameter. Pole-cancellation conjecture. The value is a removable singularity (or smooth point) of all terms if or is in
For other values of , is a pole of at least one term . This conjecture seeks a complete characterization of the mass values for which all instanton terms avoid poles at positive rational ; the preceding examples motivate the stated intersection condition, while the general assertion is left unresolved in the source.
