Laurent-polynomial conjecture for membrane indices on O(2)O(2)\mathcal{O}(-2)\oplus\mathcal{O}(2) over P3\mathbb{P}^3

Let ZZ be the local Calabi–Yau fivefold in the example over P3\mathbb{P}^3, let [L][L] be the class of a line in P3\mathbb{P}^3, and let q0,q1,q2,q3q_0,q_1,q_2,q_3 be the associated equivariant variables. Denote by Ωd[L]\Omega_{d[L]} the membrane index in degree d[L]d[L].

Laurent-polynomial conjecture. For every degree dd, Ωd[L]\Omega_{d[L]} is a Laurent polynomial in q0q_0, q1q_1, q2q_2, and q3q_3.

The conjecture predicts equivariant Laurent-polynomiality of the membrane indices in this local example. The source reports experimental evidence from low-degree calculations but does not establish the claim in general.
